My favorite reaction was when I rode by a landscape crew once - at a very high cadence. They saw me
coming from way off. I heard one guy start to chant a familiar melody. Then they all put down their
rakes and joined in. It was:
"da-dunt da-dunt da daaaaa daaaaa, da-dunt da-dunt da daaaaa daaaaa, da-dunt da-dunt da
daaaaa daaaaa".
You know, it's the bit of music that accompanies the mean old lady from "Wizard of Oz" when she's
furiously riding her bike. Pretty quick thinking on the part of these landscapers, I thought. My
route is a circle, when I came around on subsequent laps - they were ready for me. Quite hilarious.
Second favorite - an old Harley biker guy, also on a landscape crew. (I ride early, around a
fancy-pants neighborhood). He says... "hey...., cool bike..... where does your twinkie sit?"
