It's the little things...

Was on my way home yesterday from work on the bike and i was sitting at a set of lights whent he car beside decides to start inching forward, me knowing the lights sequencq knew lights were not due to change yet, anyways i look across to see the driver pointing at me and my oroginal thought was "WTF is he doing". I then take a look at the rear passenger seat, which is now level with me, only to see his kid looking over at me in delight at the bike, gave him a wave and he was delighted:D:D:D

Sorry for the long story but i thought it was great, as the title says its the little things.........that make us happy:D

Yeah, it's a great feeling alright. Many's a time I've been out for a spin and came up behind a car with 3 or 4 kids in the back and they bounce around and start waving. The looks on their little faces when I wave back is brilliant!!! :cool:

There's a little non national dude up the road from me, anytime he hears the bike he pegs it down the driveway to the wall and starts waving at me like a lunatic. Tis deadly.

its great to see the jpys in the kids faces, even if your having a sh!t day it makes you smile, also reminds me of the twins next door to me, if they hear me coming home they stand at the porch waving and calling "Bike, Man on Bike", cracks me up:D

When I was a kid we lived in this big estate and a neighbor drove to work on a moped. Everyday loads of us would line up on the road waiting for him to come home so he would slap our hands as he drove by. We thought he was pretty cool.

I would love to high five someone from my bike

Ah be jaysus you took me right back :P Me and my twin were obsessed with bikes when we were little. We'd go running to to the roadside whenever we heard one coming. We're bigger and uglier now but we both have bikes

Its even better when you out on a big spin with about 10-15 bikes. I was out 2 weeks ago with green martian and a few lads on a big spin about 25 bikes and people were stopping in the streets with kids waving like mental.....looking for a beep and a rev.

Great craic.
