mini-van following me on a very narrow country road for what seemed like forever, when the road finally widened the lady in the passenger seat said as her ?husband? slowly drove next to me, "Don't you ever stop pedalling? We've been behind you forever and you never stop!"

"M'am, it's a fixed gear...I can't stop."

"Do you want some help?"

I just laughed and shook my head no..."Um...nope, I think I got it."

they drove off as confused as I must have looked.
