My Spandex get looked at more then yours

I was out teaching a friend how to ride more efficiently to help her with her next triathlon. When all of a sudden a weird clicking sound (loose spokes), once we were finished our little training session I rode over to the bike shop to have Luke take a look at my rear wheel. When O arrived at the store Luke assured me if I left him the bike he could get it fixed up by Friday night and as I have a full weekend of riding planed I had to leave him the bike and walk home. Now I live downtown Montreal for those of you who know the city you will know the Atwater area, picture walking one kilometer in full race kit bare foot, holding cycling shoes in one hand and a helmet in the other, through a grocery store parking lot. I wish I would have had a camera with me to be able to post pictures of the looks I got on the walk home from the shop. I always found it interesting to see how people react to things that are considered out of the ordinary. All the people that looked at me on my walk home have seen cyclist before but always on or near a bike, put someone in cycling clothes in the middle of a parking lot with no bike and the looks come out, they seem to be looking for the bike or something, it just goes to show that when you take something or someone and move them away from their usual circumstance people just don’t exactly know how to handle it, maybe tomorrow I’ll go pick up my bike in a suite of armor and see what kind of looks I get. Enjoy the sun now that it’s come back and enjoy the ride.
