A few hours ago, on my commute home from work, I had to stop for fast food (I hadn't eaten lunch and was weak). While I ate outside next to my bike, a guy came up and started talking to me. After I answered a few of his questions about riding to work, he then asked "Why can't you drive?". I guess he thought I had gotten a DUI or something. I did explain, that I sometimes do drive.

Oh well. It's all kind of amusing.
