I actually had sort of an opposite experience one day this spring and it was kind of fun. There's a triathlete I've been on group road rides with before, a pretty strong guy. One day I passed across him in traffic - he was on his road bike going the opposite direction, I was on my grocery getter, in street clothes, with my backpack, panniers, and bunny-shaped squeeze horn.
I waved at him and the double-take he did was priceless! He had to mention it the next time he saw me on my road bike.
