Nothing can go wrong here, everyone will happily wave to you as well! The one finger thing is just a weird custom, don’t worry about it!

Same story over and over again.
The vulnerable traffic members must be acutely aware of their surroundings all the time, and so they have to „enjoy“ the sound of 2-ton metal cages zooming past them with > 50 km/h.
Meanwhile, nobody thinks it’s problematic that said metal cages are better soundproofed than the average US home, and are allowed to enjoy Wagner‘s Walkürenritt at 90 dB on their 1456.32 hi-fi surround system while running over some bike. How dare you inconvenience my right to feel completely alone in the middle of millions of people.
If you want to make a bike more secure, add a mirror. That gives you way more awareness of your surroundings.
