this is funny. last night i was going home from work. on half way. i was standing at red signal, and there was a girl who was asking for donation for some "Needy Family". she passed all car ahead of me and behind me. but didn't come to me.
best part was, she was looking at me like i am really home less and as if i will take her money...
i don't understand why people think all bike riders are poor and home less. ?

Coupla years ago I was camping out north of town and had a plastic grocery bag full o hamburger buns (can't get squished!) swinging off the back of my messenger bag. Suddenly I saw a really cool fleece blanket on the side of the road, so I stopped to investigate. Bright yellow with red cherries and somebody's grandma had obviously knotted each little tie just so. I rolled it up, stuffed it between my bag and body and rolled on to the campground. I know I looked homeless THAT day. Italian leather bike shoes and all.

I had a student wondering if my reflective band (which I sometimes don't bother to remove so I know where it is at the end of the day) was a house-arrest-surveillance device. (She asked somebody else.)

That's what I tell people my Road ID ankle band is. It's always fun to see the look on their faces.

More than once I've had my Pilates mat strapped to the rack on the way to or from the gym, and people have asked me if I was going camping
