want to be cyclists (I know I get angry when I see cyclists and I've
stupidly gotten into my cage) and so instead of making them hate me, I'll
say g'day, give 'em a big smile, and make 'em love me! I urge people to
try it sometime. It really takes no more effort than not doing it but I'm
sure it's a really small step towards promoting cycling as something that
makes people happy and cool!I think it's very important to show drivers that we appreciate it when
they're considerate. I always at least put a hand up in acknowledgement.--

Me too, except one time where I was nearly killed by a bus driver but
saved by one of those rare good 4WD drivers and I was shaking too badly
to take a hand off, I turned and mouthed "thank you" to them and they
gave me a wave.
