One of the things I love about my Xtracycle (which I got back yesterday, YEA!!!, with a new wheel but not the disc brakes yet, but new brake pads) is that it's obviously *meant* for ... even if they can't figure out what, I'm an "intentional cyclist," riding instead of driving.
That's another thing I love about the 'bent. I'm obviously riding because I want to, not because I have, um, social problems. Makes my place on the pecking order a bit higher than otherwise, I think.
