You also probably call them by their bike, as in "blue Trek guy" or "carbon Giant dude" until you get to know them really well. That's normal and accepted.
Oh so true.
This Spring I rode the local "hammer" ride and realized that I had ridden with one of the guys before (Yellow Giant with a filthy frame and an immaculate drive train) the previous summer.
It isn't always about the bike, though. A long time ago I was on a local bike club ride during the dead of winter and a woman came up along side and said that she recognized me from a year ago (we get a fair number of "snowbird" riders down here) by my calves.
