amongst all the cars and peds on the road who feel bikes are single handedly destroying their lives and who have no problems expressing their opinions on that.. there are a few who really admire the bike rider.

i was out riding and cutting through some neighborhoods when this little girl who was playing in her yard made the effort to run to the end of the driveway as i was passing by. all just to say, "that's cool!" with genuine interest in my bike. i don't know why, but that really made my day.

/end hippie-esque rant. haha.

one time me and my friend were riding in suburbia (on the sidewalk, shhh) and a kid's ball rolled into the way of my buddy....instead of slowing down, he bunny-hops over the soccerball and keeps riding...totally made that kid's day.

once i was riding past the local campus liquor store some thug type guys got out of their SUV with spinners and one of them shouted at me "yo thats a nice bike, a--hole" i was confused

it's alright.. they had 'spinnas'. i mean seriously, who ever thought that was a good idea? although i do enjoy spinning random peoples spinners in parking lots and pretending i'm a 'playa'. but not the cheap reps from pep boys cause they either don't spin or they fall off.

As I was blasting my way through the last second of yellow light (hitting maybe 25) my friends happened to be on the corner and cheered me on.

^That happened to me last night!

Once a grizzled old commuter on a touring bike yelled "your doing a good job!" and gave me a thumbs up. I think it was because I was wearing a helmet and had lights on my bike.

over the summer my buddy and i were at a local ice cream place and some little kid raised his arms in the air and yelled " YAY BICYCLES!". it was phat. i felt like a superhero

i get "hey lance!" and "******!" a lot.

Someone dude in cargo pants told me to return my pants to my sister this morning.

My hipster pride was wounded.

I was locking up outside a bar last week and this big south jersey meatstick approached me, and instead of laughing or making a disparaging comment, actually complimented my grips (you know, those ones with little white stars on them), and I'm pretty sure it was geniune - "Yo, those look awwesome dood" - he may have been wasted, I couldn't tell, but it was really really bizarre.

so i was riding home in the bike lane a few nights ago, and this guy rolls down his window and says " hey i wanted to talk to you in the bar i think you are pretty cute"

so i turned into a parking deck and rolled out the back of it.
i love short cuts,

but why do hot chicks never do this to me.
