Sorry couldn't resist...
im polite so i say hello to every one i se eon my commute (yep you guessed it all 8 of them)
The 'hello' might not always be audiable and may just be a finger flick, helmet tip or full arm bending wave. the decision making is down to how tired i am, how in the zone i am or just how good looking the recipient is.

my 3 year old boy is a sociable type, when he's on the seat on the back he says 'hello...i'm on my bike' to everyone we pass. he generally gets a hello back.
It's all about English Gang Mentality.
On the London commute I don't acknowledge other cyclists (too many of them) unless something happens to bring them into the gang, such as a motorcyclist mouthing off (you can exchange a roll of the eyes), or if someone has a clipless moment in front of you (happened to me the other day and I went "oooooo are you alright" really loudly, thus making me just as embarrassed as him!)
It's a different story out on the open road - when touring I always acknowledge other cyclists with a smile and a nod of the head, cos they are in your "gang". Same with cycling on country roads.

Excuse my complete ignorance - I'm a newbie to these forums - but what's a POB, please?
I'm gonna be sorry I asked, aren't I?

Pedestrian On a Bike
E.g. What folks consider to be a non-serious cyclist
Typically a chav looking character riding a kiddies MTB with the saddle very low. Usually wearing Reebok Classics and Jeans that are cut to display a bulder's a*se! Oh and riding on the pavement!
