In actuality they should be laughing at the 170lb guy who takes a 5,000lb Humvee to work while getting 3.6 MPG.
The thought of the sight of that should make people piss themselves while coming unglued - laughing.

Good point! Because that really is preposterous!

Hey OP, good for you, I am glad you guys are riding your bike and having fun with it too. Gives the coworkers something to talk about and a laugh at work always makes the day go better. Not only are you saving money and wear and tear on the car, but you are providing an important social function as well! Keep up the good work!

and, this thread made me laugh too! So you see, you are doing the right thing and reaching many people, soon, you will be famous, starting with your job, everyone knows who you are there now, then, everyone on GLP will know about you and your tandem excursions, next . . . . . ?
