Overweight Cyclists?

[NoNo]

Another related/unrelated situation:
When I'm out and about (in my professional capacity) with a kid with a disability, I've had people make stupid comments from "What's wrong with him?" to "Can't you stop that?" (usually the kid's screaming), to "What does he have?"

I'm usually somewhere between dumbstruck and ignoring, but I did quickly respond to "What does he have?" by saying "He has a red hat."

When I was in college I became ill with some random thing that made my legs stop working. At best I could take a baby step with my left foot and drag my right foot along. Would pop up for a week, disappear for a few 2-3 months, and reappear. At various times while trying to literally drag myself to and from class, random people would stop me and say "What's wrong with you?" I guess they at least had the decency (nerve?) to ask, rather than the people that just used to stare.

When my daughter was born, I was leaving the hospital and my husband had purchased the FRILLIEST, LACIEST, FLUFFIEST, PINKISH dress he could find to dress his new baby girl in for her homecoming outfit. So, there we were, he pushing me in the wheelchair down the hospital corridor and me, holding our new, very feminine, pink baby. A lady came up to me and said "Ohhhh - a new baby! Boy or girl?" My DH said "OH, we haven't decided".......
