"I cycled home from work in jeans last night"
When I was a teenager, I used to always cycle in jeans, even on two week tours. In retrospect, there is more appropriate clothing.

Weirdly, I have found the best way to avoid chafing on the bent is not to wear tight clothing, these days I just go commando under shorts with a wool base layer, seems good for a couple of days in a row...
As for other cyclists, being somewhere with decent infrastructure is weird, because there is none of the 'congratulations-on-not-getting-squashed' fraternity I feel in the UK. Instead its just people, like walking but a bit faster.

Cyclingmollie: there are some caveats! Unfortunately a smile is normally all I can manage on the way up steep hills!
I did have a pleasant chat with a fella on my way up Drumbrae North a few months ago when we got caught at the set of lights outside the BOS branch. I let him go on first but ended up passing him before the first bus stop. I did manage a thank you in my most cheery 'pah!-this-hill-is-such-a-breeze' voice before grimacing and panting the rest of the way up.
Ruggtomcat: I've never cycled anywhere other than the UK but your fraternity comment is spot on! Should I know about a secret hand(lebar)shake?
