On the Internet you can find many message boards devoted to the wave question, an evergreen topic that never really goes away. There are worries that the ritual is eroding; that cycling and running have become polluted with rude wave deniers; that society in general isn't as nice and we're all on a slow road to a hell…in which, presumably, nobody ever waves.When I'm running, I wave at other runners I encounter unless they do something to irritate me -- say, run to the left of the sidewalk instead of the right. Then I punish them by not waving at them.

I always wave when I'm on the bike! It helps that I usually have a four year old sitting in front of me who also waves and yells, "Good morning!" Even grouchy people smile and wave back.
Gotta wave. Only connect.
