People in the suburbs north of Detroit are surprisingly cool. They give a lot of room when they pass and they don’t yell at me. Another guy in the office is a bigger bike nut, but I bike commute more. I’ve commuted to work at least one per month for the last 27 months. Hang in there, Lesley.

Fritz-

Here in Reno we have Critical Mass, 1 they never ride around the whole city, most of the reactions are “O gawd, A Group of Fixie Nerds…!@#$%!@#”, and the biggest reaction I got was from a luxury suv that probably had its engine to far up its tailpipe to care about the law.

Quinn, some people in Portland organized a Super Legal Bike Ride a few years ago. In San Francisco we have the "Critical Manners" bike ride every month.

I found a New way to get Anti-compliments (from drivers), Ride your 29er down a main drag, following the law down to the letter.

**Warning- you may want to wear ear plugs.

I can only dream of passing another commuter cyclist on my way to work. It’s kinda funny that I ride right past a Ford plant every day. All these big trucks just looking at me weird.

The main reason I ride is for the health beneifts. The gas savings is just a bonus! And yes, my co-workers think I’m a little off … but they thought that BEFORE I started riding to work.

I rarely get negative comments because I smile and wave at everyone.

I only get positive and surprised comments at work (accounting firm). Nothing negative on the road unless you consider being forced off the road negative. Commuting drivers tend to be a bit uptight, in-a-hurry, on the phone, etc.
I live in kind of a yuppie, upper middle class area so cycling and jogging are pretty normal.
