While commuting with my sport/road bike I received passing glances and no mention from the students as I rolled the bike to and from my office and afterwards. As soon as I started riding the mountain bike, the students began acknowledging me as a bike rider, often commenting and making conversation about cycling, even students who were not in my classes. The crowd commenting about the mountain bike typically is 18 - 29, both genders. The few interested parties conversing about cycling while I was using the sport/road bike usually were staff members, 40 and over, both genders. I just thought this was an interesting observation to pass on.
