as the the guy in the truck, I think sometimes people just find us interesting. Last night, Meg & I got in a rare ride together. At a traffic light, a woman in front of us was too busy looking at us in her mirror to go. I pointed out that seeing 2 women on road bikes in our area isn't that common and she was just interested, or fascinated, or whatever.

Sometimes it's a compliment.

However, the lady asking directions was clueless.
