    I live in a small village and go running through surrounding villages. it is expected that you acknowledge everybody regardless of their mode of transport! The trick however, is to not be too friendly and get sucked into a conversation. I usually say hi to other joggers but i try to stay away in case i drip sweat on them or i just smell bad!!

    I always get a hello back, apart from this one girl in the village who point blank ignores me every time i see her. and the b*&%h runs faster than me too so I cant even chase her down!

    This^

    I normally smile and nod to all comers: random pedestrians, cyclists, dog walkers, runners, etc...

    Being polite costs nothing. And it's nice to be nice!

    I usually say hello, occasionally just smile and always stare down the ones who try to avoid eye contact.

    Men get the head node, women get the slight wave. I feel like I have to give the extra effort wave to women so they don't assume rapey vibes are coming from me.

    Let's hope those men aren't getting the rapey vibe....

    I usually wave at other runners, in the summer most people look at me like I am crazy and don't wave back. In the winter most people wave back because they know I am crazy and we at least share two things in common.
