So you ride bikes right? Note: this is asked whilst wearing rolled up pants, a messenger bag with a light on the back, and a doofy ass cycling cap (only to cover up the drunk haircut).

the worst is when they look at your seat, give some dumb comment on how much it must hurt to sit on it, then actually put their hand on it to feel it. My butt is on that, taint sweat, nastiness.

"So... no rest?"
"nope, all pedaling, all the time."
"and no gears?"
"just one."
"... so, how do you coast?"
