    What really drove me nuts with my coworkers was that they liked to do "practical jokes" on my bike, like scotch tape up the mirror. When I explained it was my car they were messing with and how would they like it if their driver's side mirror suddenly disappeared one day, people left it alone. Most of my coworkers were supportive, I do have to say. Even when the Dept. of Health came for a visit, my boss let me put my clothes (hang up ones) in her office. They call my cubee "the closet."

    We´re lucky that our office is very cycling-friendly. In fact every so often they run out of bike rack space. One of the big health insurance companies even did a bike to work promotion last summer. You had to log your rides in teams of four and they they gave out prizes at the end of the summer for teams who had ridden a minimum number of days.

    My race numers go up on the wall of my office, so all of my co-workers know what I have been up to.

    Not everywhere in Europe is cycle-friendly, alas, and there are still plenty of Germans who are in love with their cars (after all, I live about a mile from BMW headquarters). Still, it is definately seen as a valid mode of transport here.
    I have a colleague who hates sport, but he cycles to work - he probably does more exercise that way than many people who go to the gym four times a week.
