1. The Hitler pic is a whopper. (Transl. from slightly drunk: "rather cool, thank you.")
2. It's hard not to get disheartened by the stern look or blatant dismissal from certain of the courier fraternity who look at me either as a petty fakenger/wannabe/loser when I nod cheerfully at them, or as though I'm checking them out, rather than being genuinely happy to see someone also spinning through a town by sheer force of will and legs alone, without none of them fancy gear-ish thingummies.
3. When I stare, it's usually because I can't tell (not the greatest eyes, these) whether that person coasting is on a single-speed (initial assumption: all sexy bikes must by default be fixies, or at least SS) or geared. Or I'm tired. Or grumpy. Or the last person that passed me was a dismissive, arrogant, nob.
