Same here. I work with yuppies who are always showing off their latest luxury car

It is almost a problem for me to be taken seriously on a bike. The nice thing is: bike are not a status symbol. For a start nobody (but a monority of fellow bikers) know anything about bikes (what they are, how good they are, what they are worth).
Here in the Southwest, where every 15 year old drive a polluting vehicle, one is looked with suspicious for not owning a car.
