yesterday I got a real nice reaction from a lady at a gas station. There is a small convienence store close to my house that I usually stop at for pop and stuff. the clerks and I were discussing my new bike and i mentioned that i found it to be quite stable on ice and snow. A lady was listening to us and she looked at me in disbelief and said "you rode that bicycle in the ice and snow?" I told her that the biggest problem was people in cars who do not scrape their windows good enough and cannot see me! she had no reply. I like it when people look at me like I am doing something incredible when I am doing something i enjoy.
