If you want to be invisible on a car lot...

visit one on a bicycle. I pedalled through the lots of three dealerships
this afternoon. I'm thinking about a new car, and I'm debating between the
Toyota Yaris hatchback, Nissan Versa hatchback, and Honda Fit Sport. The Fit
seems like it will handle a bike much better. Well, none of the cars are out
yet, but I was able to cruise around the lots looking at cars for about 20
minutes each----and not ONE salesman approached me. Must have thought
bicycle = poor. :-)
