I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate gestures like that, it's just weird and impractical, especially the roundabout situation. When I've actually stopped my bike and put my feet on the ground it takes a while to get going again.
I think a lot of people are paranoid about hitting pedestrians and bikers. On top of it's just not very fun, and I'd feel terrible, I think legally you'd really get raked over the coals for hitting someone with your car. xD
