Secret Benefit of Commuting?

Thursday morning it was 5 degrees with a nice north wind of 23 (gusting to 32) with a few inches of fresh snow fallen overnight (with the attendant drifts and the attendant 6 times for me to almost biff). Since it was my designated commute day, I layered up and rolled out on the stud-equipped GT and rode in to work. When I got there I was greeted by a number of comments ranging from, "you have to be the baddest-a@@ out there today" to "you rode your bike? Are you a #$%$ nut?" The comments questioning my intelligence I didn't like so much, but I gotta be honest, it felt good to be viewed as a bad-a@@" Is it just me or does anyone else get a secret kick out of co-worker's reactions when you ride to work in miserable conditions?
