Do people still "nod" these days!?

[Yesjus]

Remember being on the back of my mates gsx a few years ago now and the "nod" to fellow bikers was a given to and from!

Since passing my DAS I nod at every man and his dog on two wheels...but don't get a lot of nods back!

Is it something I said 😳

[Pjay]

[ThatDippyTwat]

Depends where you are. Here in N.Wales, yeah, most do, unless it's Harley riders, never seen a nod off a single one. I'll nod to anyone on 2 wheels, we're enjoying the same road, even Harley riders.

I nod to everyone. Including passing cars. They could be bikers too.

[drbaig]

Yes, no, yes, no, maybe, perhaps, but, somehow, yes, no.

Nod? I was stuck by the side of the road for over 5 hours on Wednesday, at least a dozen or so bikes passed me without making eye contact, let alone nod.

Had more nods from cyclists than bikers.

I wave.

Well, I say "wave", it's more what you might call a salute.

I only nod on weekends ... if I nodded to everyone on my commute my head might fall off

As a new biker I nod at everybody. I get a nod back the majority of the time (West Yorks)

[ADSrox0r]

Tend to dish out more nods in foul weather, fistbump for "yeah you and me out in this shit eh pal"

I'm a nodder. Sometimes I initiate the nod exchange, sometimes I'm the receiver of the nod. But it always reminds me of the first time that I was nodded to. I had no pre-warning about this unspoken code of conduct, so when someone nodded to me unexpectedly I was overwhelmed. Accepted in to the biking community.
Now I'm usually the first to nod. Hopefully, spreading some joy to any budding new rider that I come across.

Round by me they usually wave enthusiastically because they're nice like that. I think it's just surprise that another person rides in an area where it rains 90% of the time. Plus it's pretty rural so folk are generally more friendly.

Didn't nod when I was a learner. I knew my place. I do now I'm not, except for learners or peds

I never nod I only ever nod back and that is only to passing bikes in the thick of winter.

[Arcane1729]

I'm a sensitive soul with a fear of rejection so I wait for people to nod to me, then I do it.

arry lololol- what happens on the motorway?

[Dave....]

Whilst riding round Isle of Man during TT fortnight no-one nods at each other.

[Yesjus]

Well I like to nod so I will continue to do it...i will also stop at the first biker i see stuck on the side of the road..not that I will have much to offer in the way of mechanical skills!!

[Freddyfruitba...]

How about people in Hi-Viz (not a Polite vest, natch), do they get a nod?
