What do you say when non-cyclists ask you ....

[lph]

My cycle buddies are also amazed that I still have the original chain ring, rear cassette and chain on my bike as well.

Wow, so am I!!

You must handle your bike real purty

When it comes to rude questions, by the way, nothing beats total strangers, finding out we have one child and immediately asking "So aren't you going to have any MORE??"

Uh, like it's any of their business? And for all they know we could have been trying for years, and be absolutely crushed by the idea that we couldn't have another... That's not the case, but that's exactly why they shouldn't be asking.

You know it should suprise me that people can be that rude but it doesn't. I have quite a few friends back in Aust that are married with no kids and they tell me that people are constantly asking them why they dont have kids?? It would never occur to me to ask such a personal question. I assume if people have zero, eight, four or whatever its because its what they choose.
