Of course, this recognition can be context-dependent. One day, I saw Catherine stopped on the roadside out of town. I stopped to help and was surprised that even after numerous chats in town she didn't recognize me. It turns out she had never seen me on a training ride and associated me with a step-thru Schwinn with baskets. We both got a good chuckle as we solved her problem and went our separate ways.
