For example, members of the uni cycling team who use a portion of my route for training do wave, and the only person I've encountered who *doesn't* wave is this guy that often rides my same route the opposite direction as me. He is also the only one that rides a touring setup adequate for a cross country trip rather than a racing bike with the bare minimum. He is a prof at a uni close to my house.
Uni cyclists dont count - kids these days lack discipline anyway. The touring setup guy is interesting - perhaps there is a hierarchy within Fred as well?
