Last weekend, I finally had time to finish my bike conversion to an e-assist bike. I rode it to work every morning since. This morning I had a strange experience.
I arrived at work and was about to lock up the bike outside. Two guys arrived at the same time. I have seen them before and one of them always rides in an absolutely ludicrous outfit. It looks like a wresting onesie with a sleeveless west over it, which he leaves open.
Onesie Guy: “Nice e-bike”
Me: “Thanks”
Onesie Guy: “Don’t you think it’s kinda embarrassing to cheat like that?”
Me: “Not as embarrassing as your outfit”
He looked at me for a few seconds as if he is going to explode before he offered me a High Five saying “nice comeback dude”. I refused the High Five out of fear he was going to use it to throw a surprise punch at me.
Have others had experiences like that were people on regular bikes are almost hostile?
