I got a couple of comments this past Sunday while riding. We stopped at one point to make an adjustment on a friend's bike. A lady was running past and commented that if we were running instead of riding we wouldn't have to worry about mechanical breakdowns. One of the riders responded to her that we could fix the bike; we couldn't fix worn out knees.

Later on a driver pulled up next to me and asked if we weren't afraid to ride on the road. He said he would be terrified to do that. We ran into the driver later at a convenience store where he proceeded to tell us that it was illegal for us to be on the highway. Just so happened that we were able to cite chapter and verse of Florida Statutes that give us the right to be on the road.

He quickly changed to subject by asking Betsy, "Hey don't I know you?" To which she responded, "Yeah, you used that same line on me last month at Shindigs." The Good Ol' Boy nearly swallowed his Skoal.
