I was hoping he would come back around for a second lap, because I was gonna do just that - hop out and see if he wanted to follow me. I don't have a rapport with them - wave to them when I'm out with the dog, but that's about it. They're Japanese, and I don't think the wife speaks English, but honestly, I don't know.

If I see them out, I'll try to talk to them. Casual-like. They do see me outside in all my gear, so they know I ride.

Thanks - I knew I could count on you to offer opinions.

Worth a try; otherwise I don't know. Some parents are kinda touchy, but they may view you in a positive way as an "authority" if you talk to them while you are wearing full cycling gear.
