Well, it went better than I expected. Commuted 4 times already, and so far this is what I've heard:
"Why aren't you wearing those ***** pants you had?"
"Gawd, that jacket hurts my eyes"
"that jacket is going to make people want to hit you"
"How long did it take you to get here?"
"Let me tell you a story of this guy who got killed while riding......"
The usual snickering...
Found my headlight flashing when I went outside to check. Someone admitted to playing with it.
Not a single person said "I need to ride" or asked me for any advice. All think it is a bad idea to ride a bicycle on public roads.
I asked a lot of people if they are interested in meeting me at the local park after work one day to do some MTB'ing. Almost 100 employees and no one has any interest.
I did say to the biggest turd "what are you doing about your weight problems?" after he made the jacket remarks. His response? "Oh, yeah, I plan to join the YMCA soon".....
