This particular time I go the follow up, "No its crazy, you are crazy". He actually seemed annoyed that I had ridden in. This was at the breakup of a meeting and we were headed in opposite directions so the conversation ended, but I wonder where it would have gone.

A friend of mine had the perfect response to that one when a co-worker told him that he was out of his mind. Paraphrasing "People are in their cars are nose to tail in heavy traffic and burning gas while getting all crabby because they aren't getting anywhere at 'rush hour' and you're saying I'm crazy for being on the bike getting exercise and actually getting somewhere???"
