* If this didn't happen, I would pretty soon cease any attempt at acknowledgement. However, because it does happen, I persist in what seems to be polite etiquette, but it is strange when certain classes of cyclist do not reciprocate.

​​​​​I don't think there's anything strange about it. People are riding for different purposes, acknowledging waves is consistent with some purposes and not others.
