I got questioned because I wore my work clothes while bicycling, instead of cycling clothes; I don't wear shorts and probably won't wear gay pants. Aside from that, no, not really. Also one of my coworkers says I'm lucky to be alive every time I get to work (I was mirror-swiped several times the first day and nearly run off the road by a state-operated bus; I haven't been on the particular route I got hit on since, because I found more convenient ones. People just want to lose their mirrors, it seems...). Parents keep saying someone is going to jump me on the way to work and steal my bike; I told them as long as I don't have to duel Oroku Saki on a bicycle I'll be fine.
You have five fingers, one of them has a use here.
