Ha - it's interesting reading all your cold weather posts when I live in Florida.
My car is in the shop today so I road the Trek to work. When I got there some women got the automatic door for me (I work in an office building) and as I get on the elevator I hear them comment that its cool I ride to work. At lunch I was leaving the building and a guy asked how I liked the bike since he almost got the same one. When I got to the mechanic's to check on my car some of the guys complimented me on the bike there too.
Besides being all sweaty when I arrive at my destinations - it is nice riding the bike to work. By the way, I do not go to the office in full team gear.
It seems that riding to work is viewed positively here - do you guys notice the same where you are?
