I've occasionally started saying the same to people who are getting ready to drive somewhere in their motor vehicle. Some appreciate it, some don't see it as strange, but some folks give double takes or ask why.

Oh yes. They see me in my gear ready to hop on my bike for a ride home, "Be safe". Annoyed, I usually say, "You too, it's dangerous out there." But then, the stats I know DO indicate there is increased risk on a bicycle so I guess their concern is justified, if overblown.
