Funny you post this. Everytime I am driving and pull along side of a male cyclist, I always glance at the bike first then the bcyclist second. If the bike is a really nice high end model, I sometime don't even glance at the bicyclist. It also works the other way. When I am biking and stop at the intersection, I get look at by guys when I am on my plain Jane Specialize Rockhopper. Not true when I am in my commuting bike with all those gadget setup. The driver will spend minutes looking at all my stuff instead.
