Honestly, I still have to meet to first person on a bike that objects to me…uhm, objectifying him or her. So here’s a little tribute to their good humor…and similar behavior on two wheels that deserves to be included.

She spotted me, laughed, waved and then continued her chat

It seems bicyclists in the U.S. aren't much for waving at fellow bicyclists. I've heard/read people complain about this. I'm not sure what, if anything, it means.

I've heard that too, and no person on a bike waves at others or feels the need to (as cycling is so commonplace), unless they see a familiar face of course :), but that's not what these pictures are about: they are waving at the photographer with the massive camera standing on the sidewalk :)
