Well, I have only been back to commuting for a few weeks, but I must say that it's been an eye-opening experience. No, not because I'm surprised by how much I enjoy it, how easy it is, or anything like that. I'm talking about the strange or funny things you've seen from your bike on your way to work. Here's my list so far:

1. A guy in a dress on his bike. He rides the same route regularly, and it took me a couple of sightings to be pretty sure of what I was seeing. My office mate and husband have seen him, too, and concur that it's not just a larger-than-average woman.

2. A slightly more laid-back commuter riding in the opposite direction of me, pulling on his cigarette as he rode.

3. And just today, an example of how high-vis clothing is not always the best way to catch a driver's attention. I was actually driving when I saw this. A guy riding a black vintage American Flyer dressed in worn Levis, cowboy boots, Carhart jacket, white cowboy hat, wire rim glasses, and toting a courier bag. Cowboy on a vintage bike. I don't think I've ever seen that one before.

So what are some other funny or strange things you've seen while riding?
