Walker's Nod 

A respectful bow of the head usually done multiple times by more experienced walkers, usually ones who notice body patterns and such. Either this walker or passerby does not want to talk or would not like to appear threatening. It may be akward for tbe person opposite from you, if they nod too early or too late. Usually said walker will bow their head for a few seconds when passing shoulder to shoulder, which is quite normal. I personally use the walker's nod a lot, and as mutual walkers, we all understand. When I first started walking a lot, I was quite confused, but realized quickly what others were doing. This is a show of respect, don't take it wrong. Anyway, have fun on your next walk! Remember to nod!
