Not sure why we need to create some kind of biking apartheid system. Scooters, learners, Harley's, GS riders, Ducati ('Dutwati'?)... they are all on 2 wheels, which is fine by me.

Bicycles, on the other hand ... don't get me started  :furious:

It's fair to say I'm not here for the "likes"  ;)

My approach is to wave to everyone on a 2 wheeled petrol engine powered machine that I ride past......... and swear like trooper at them (in my helmet) if they don't wave back.   Hardley drivers get the more choice swear words!  :happy1:

Cyclists?..... don't get me started on that one again  :furious:

There's no need for that, they come way below scooters and there is no argument Seth can put up to change that.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

I also wave at all bikes but not scooters (gotta draw a line somewhere)

My experience has been with most bikes it's pretty random. but Hardly Dignified riders almost never wave back and the dirt bike/knobbly tyre brigade rarely do.

...and then the Winged Hussars arrived.

The dirt bike / knobbly tyred brigade would probably be shocked that someone waved to them in the first place,  they're probably just stunned Mike & don't know how to react.  :happy1:

Young fella on a scooter waved to me yesterday. So l waved back. To his credit he had proper riding gear, a schoòl bag on his back......good man. :clapping:
