Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I might have my first fan

Well, over the summer I came to this site and I started road cycling. One summer day this summer, some girls in a green van honked their horn and yelled to me "HEY SEXY!".

Fast forward to today, its Night time and my Clydesdale ass is out for a hour of cycling, Java Programing has kicked my ass this week, well back to the subject, I am riding in my housing complex and decide to take a detour and go to my nearby 711, I buy my product and head on home. I am at an intersection that leads into my housing complex. As I wait for cars to pass by so I can enter, I notice a car behind me, the cars pass and I wait for the car to pass me since I yield to cars every time im on the road. Well what do I hear, these girls saying something and driving past me going up the road rather into the housing complex. Guess what I see? A GREEN VAN!!!!!!!!! It is the same girls from earlier in the summer. Im like wtf, I have fans!! I guess you have to start somewhere, TDF here I come!!

On that note, anyone else have "fans" that they have met more than once?

Yeah, post a picture of yourself so I can tell if they were serious or just being sarcastic.

There's this guy that sits in his wheel chair outside the hospice home I pass on my commute home. He always waves to me. Does that count?

Dude, I am more interested in the "product" you bought.

What did you purchase from the konbini?

5 bucks says the OP's bibs have developed a sizable rip in the back to the point that he is blatantly exposing his "Clydesdale ass" to the world.

IMO if they don't try to run you over or otherwise hurt/kill you, they qualify as a fan. So......

Yes.
No I don't.

Since that is the normal state of things, I suspect you'd care when they stop laughing at you!
