Eight miles to work commute and I had a woman at work ask if I was a professional cyclist.
Today it's beautiful. On the way home during our morning ride (we had the day off) my wife and I stopped in to pick up my new glasses. It's 84 degrees and gorgeous here. The woman behind the counter said "Isn't it way to hot to be riding?"
Let's fac eit. We have vastly different perceptions than many of our non-riding neighbors who can't imagine a $1500 bicycle but have a ski boat and an SUV.
