Re: Waving at people on scooters
Wave at them first. I always wave or nod at scoots. Usually they are too stunned to respond. That's a shame. Let's have a bit of solidarity with two-wheelers. They are probably more vulnerable on the road than we are.Randy wrote:
So what should I do next time? I am leaning towards looking the other way next time I see a scooter coming.

sometimes I wave at cagers... but I usually don't have time to use all of my fingers. 
I digress... I agree with SV here. Wave even if they don't wave back. We two wheeled vehicle powered by fossil fuel riders gotta stick together.

We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

yesterday I pulled up to a red light and a guy on a scooter pulled up in the next lane... he wouldn't even look my way, I think he was afraid I would sneer at him or something. That kind of tension is just stupid... I was staring him down hoping he would look over so I could wave, or nod, or smile or something to break the tension.
Hell I'd wave at everyone if I didn't have to control the bike all the time.
