I was overjoyed when someone said it to me as I was cycling my sequoia home from the shop. Also discussed rack vs backpack. I felt I'd made good choices
Was it a woman? My missus has a Sequioa and unlike me loves it (it's fun to ride but it has wider handlebars than all my bikes!). She was overjoyed when she spotted someone in Richmond Park with one.
Lots of nice bikes out on the road this week but apparently saying "cool bike" to people with cool bikes is not cool.
