Winter nods!

[Flatbadger]

I've seen the attitude of some members to threads about nodding, but it's not so much about the nods.

I have noticed more of them though (proportionally) as the bikers on the roads now are the non-fairweather ones.

Does the comradery go up in circumstances of greater perceived danger/discomfort, or are people just keeping their neck muscles warm?

Even if my bike is safely stowed in the hallway and I am 'at large' I still nod to passing bikers.

If it's snowing then I just shake my head in dismay/disapproval.

I still nod (or do dat ting one does wiv the head) towards my fellow bi-wheeled pugilista of the elements

I always nod to fellow bikers, some nod back, most don't bother making me look like I've got terrets,

[Flatbadger]

Hehe have a Walloper, I was just reading the snow thread!

I doubt if I'm hardcore enough to go out in the snow, and the train stations are a stone's throw away from home/work so I don't need to..

Cold and miserable - I have yet to feel that, I'm still too chuffed that I can go out 90% of the year (my journey to work takes 25 mins at 30/40mph so I don't get much exposure).

I did a bit of nodding coming back today, mostly to silhouettes

I usually nod, unless the previously mentioned percieved danger is grabbing my attention more than usual

I wouldn't want to increase the windflow into my neck area, so any nodding will be subtle...

i put it down to the non-fair-weather thing and nod back at the hardy souls

All you moaning about cold temps... I'm yet to feel the cold

[covent.gardens]

I nod in all weathers to anyone, but it definitely means more in 'off season' challenging weather. When it's painfully cold and I see a bike coming the other way I feel like I know him, 'cos he's obviosly made similar sorts of decisions to me in order to be there.

It's a Nod of Acknowledgment in summer.
It's a Nod of Respect in winter.

starting to recognise the few bikers i pass on the way into work, seems to be the ones who don't nod don't ride when there's snow (this morning was pretty fun actually, getting the hang of shifting down gently when there's no grip)

[magpiemale]

quite frankly .............I am concentrating on the road,traffic and riding to nod though I do like to nod at others now its getting dark quicker best just keep ya eyes on the road.

I nodded to a bloke in a bike jacket waiting to cross the road, and he nodded back.

Kind of, when it's really shit weather I have found me and another bike looking at each other with a mutual respect like "yeah you know this sucks"
