Yes Shelly, I get the same thing!...."I saw you all the way over in New Lebanon the other day on your bike, was that you? Did you ride all the way over there?? Where are you going today??" It almost makes me feel like I am a torchbearer of some sort- people getting a vicarious thrill over spotting me biking in adjacent towns....is it like a "Where's Elmo?" kind of thing?
