I always thank people who pass wide or wait until the road is properly clear before going past when I’m riding on my road bike
It’s funny, but I do this as well – nobody really notices any friendly hand gestures though! Only **** signs and middle fingers ever get seen 😆
I know, when I’m driving that there’s not much chance of seeing a ‘thanks’ hand raised from a bike.
Talking about overtaking here, not “thanks for waiting” to people coming towards you!
Don’t think people will be better drivers because they work at the same place or because they might know you.
Definitely – The colleague I thanked sits in the same office as me. Others on the site, who don’t know me, drive differently!
