littlewaywelt - I'll bet the first thing you did was check out your bike. I can just imagine it:
jogger: Are you alright?
littlewaywelt: My bike!
jogger: sir, you're bleeding.
littlewaywelt: My brake lever's bent. Do you have any pliers?
jogger: Huh?

Tar, did any coworkers ask, "Where's your bike?"

Knuck -
Expect everyone to be subhuman idiots, but don't let them get you down. Just ignore them while you skillfully ride with intelligence and compassion. Stupid people can be exasperating, but they can also be amusing.
