They were looking at your well-developed quads.

We walked 1 block to our polling place.

I walked the two and a half blocks uphill with my wife. However, I was in my riding outfit so that I could get on the bike when I got home and head the other direction to work.

a high percentage of +50 voters ride 'bents

To vote I like to sit down, get comfy and have a good view of all the issues in front of me. It is an up hill battle making sense of candidates, I don't need it to be more of a pain in the posterior to go to vote.

It is important to vote the way I like and mitigate all the rhetorical wind.
Now I've all kinds of bikes but how could I ride anything else but a recumbent?
