Yes, the other day I was flirting with a girl at a redlight...we are going to get some wings and maybe a movie tomorrow....on bike

Another good one, was some guy at a light asked me if I could pull into the gas station to help him with directions...given I usually am nervous about things like this, but heck it was daylight and potential witnesses were around, so I went for it.

Turns out the guy was in town on buisiness and just needed a hand...well we chatted it up for a bit, and it turned into me being lightly grilled about bike commuting...he saw these guys all the time, and never understood why we did it. So I explained to him my weight loss, cost savings, as well as time efficiency of my bike commuting. He talked about his feeling driving with us, and I pretty much got a good view of "the other side".

It was overall a pretty good chat, I think both of us left enlightened that day
