Most suspicious people are on foot, I am on bike. I remember a rather large scruffy man tried to hail me down at 4am under the BQE, I had headphones on and didn't hear what he was saying, I just shouted, "Sorry! It's 4am under the BQE!" while I moved a lane over and whizzed by him at 20+ mph.
Dude, your never going to find a ride/route/time that is without some tradeoff.
