The other day, a girl I work with was absolutely shocked I owned a car. I was leaving work on Monday, & I had driven to work this day (very rare). She was parked next to me so as I was getting into my ride, she goes "when did you get a car?" I was like, "I've had this car for 7 years, what do you mean?" She goes "then why do you ride a bike to work?" I asked her how much she spends on gas every week, to which she replied about $30 or so.....I told her I haven't spent more than $30 in gas in the past 3months. She totally understood ha ha, I may have gotten her thinking about getting a bike, but we'll see.
People at work are also "blown away" that I ride to work "all the way from downtown!"........It's a 12 mile round trip ha ha
Co-workers are always asking me if i "need" a ride home....like I'm riding to work because of a DUI or something, I guess that's the only good excuse for a grownm man to ride a bike these days.
