    Cute story; curious indeed.

    For me, strappy shoes short circuit my brain, so even simple things like lowering a saddle (and walking) become incomprehensible and impossible.

    Seems pretty logical to me that she would have assumed the bike belonged to your son who was riding it, with his mother standing on the sidelines in dress clothes. She was just trying to be helpful, since he was obviously struggling with the seat height.

    Yup, but 100% polyester is an key word here

    I guess she did think the bike was my son's, but he's a small 12 yr. old, and was wearing a suit and neat shoes, trying to ride an adult size road bike way too big for him, with drop bars and clipless pedals... so that's why I found that a bit curious too. Road bikes really are quite uncommon here, and almost only ridden by bike enthusiasts who already have a mtb or 2 at home.
