I own an automotive machine shop and build cars and toys for a living.Try explaining why I ride a bike to those folks...

I work as a mechanic but most of my customers think it's pretty cool I ride 3 or more times a week to work. They do all think it's really something to ride a bike a whole 8 miles! "Wow" they say "that's really far". I do have a couple customers into bikes and they like to see which one I rode to work today. I still have some toy cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles. Maybe I SHOULD downsize?
