The FWBC has feelings too

Why am I still regarded as a sideshow clown because I ride mybike to work?
When I got in the elevator to go home the other day, two people that are managers in my division instantly start making snide comments about my gear or my clothes. I understand that I look different. I don't have the same uniform on (black wool overcoat) but c'mon, it's been like three years! They talk to me like I am a kid. Can you be treated like an adult if you use a bike for transport? Maybe not if you are in the Fort.

Just laugh at them re: the gas they waste, when they get stuck in traffic, etc...

That's too bad. I have the same issue here. Some people think I am down right irresponsible. As if riding in the dark is somehow equivalant to Russian roulette. I guess we just have to accept people for who "they" are, even if they don't accecpt us for who we are.
