Quite a lot of people commute by bicycle or public transit. Then again it's downtown San Jose (Bay Area). So nothing really special.

The company itself seems to have some cyclists in upper management, with great facilities for biking to work.

The net result is that quite a bit of water cooler type conversation seems to revolve around bikes -- repairs, Tour de France, local events. No one ever bats an eye when I show up with my panniers. Nor are there any inquisitions about why I choose to ride a bike.

I've never run into this before.

Have you ever worked with a group of cyclists?
