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. :-)

We found that the same was true when we were shopping for a house and
wanted to walk through some of the models at developments without being
tailed by salespeople. When we arrived by tandem we were ignored
almost everywhere whereas when we came in our fairly old car (resale
value probably less than the tandem) they'd rush over the moment we
came through the door.
