You got PUNCHED? Wow...

That makes my little encounter with pedestrians this morning even smaller. I came up behind 3 well-dressed women, wearing coats, nice boots, no hats and wheeling suitcases (i.e. probably visitors to the area) and wheeled veery slowly behind them over the crosswalk. I made a slight attempt to pass them before they made the rather narrow sidewalk again, but they hadn't noticed me so I basically gave up and just did almost a track-stand right behind them.

One of them notices me, nudges the others over a bit, and I start pedalling heavily and veeery slowly past them.At no point have I moved faster than a slow jogger. And I hear just as I leave them: "Crazy cyclists!"

Huh?

Maybe they were just cold and impressed at my biking in all of -10 C Would help if they put on hats though.
