(a) That's a benefit of taking the same route, at the same time, every day; the other people who do likewise notice you after a while.


(b) I'm a bit surprised at how many people whom I don't know recognize me at work. It's a large complex, and I just basically walk in, walk down to the gym, and then I look like the average worker after that. So I'm surprised when someone recognizes me as "the guy who bikes to work" when I don't see them regularly on my walks around the office in bike clothes. Maybe they see me cruising through the parking lot up to the bike shed right in front of the door?
