- old people waiting for the bus telling me that I should be riding on the sidewalk and I'm going to get killed when I'm waiting for a light to change.
- people who have way nicer gear than me. Unlike in a lot of places, these people are usually good riders and friendly, humble people as well. (aside - the ssfg "trade" thread: You people make me sick. How do people have multiple fancy track frames and njs cranksets collecting dust in their apartments? ****ed up.)
