I've been working in Melbourne as a Quantity Surveyor for the past year. I just got back last weekend, and have been working as a bicycle courier mostly for the love of it. The amount of people who look at me like I'm scum when I dare to grace their sacred office buildings with my presence is quite amazing, no wonder I used to have self confidence issues. I went up to deliver a parcel to Rider Levett Bucknell (a QS firm) in the Vero tower, and noticed on the package the name of one of the directors of the firm, I pointed out to the (very hot) receptionist that I used to be a QS with his son at Fletchers, and that it was a small world, she gave me a very confused look like there was no way I could possibly be a QS. Anyway I'm not anymore, it's too bloody boring.

And yeah, Parnell, I can't tolerate that place for too long, too many self important gold diggers. I've been out there quite a bit recently cause i'm the only Deadline pedally on the fringe. Wave if you see me, I've got curly blonde hair, and I'm the only pedally in green uniform with black pants a silver bag that you'll see out around Newmarket, Ponsonby, Parnell, Freemans Bay, Newton, Eden Terrace, the other 3 pedally's all stay in the CBD pit.

.

this part of your post gets a bling because it is the only bit I understood.

99.9% of people I meet are really good. I dont think just because your on a bike gives any disadvantage. I guess it is the repore you create with people.

I get looked down upon wearing full black leathers but I have had people see my Moto Guzzi badge I have and then say "oh they're Italian bikes, aren't they?" Then the snootiness disappears for some reason !!

Vtec, what do you ride? I'm in Parnell, I owe you lunch by now. Did 75 k's this morning on the Col-no-go, I'm a fat old bastard in need of some new knees. People told me I'd miss 'em when they burned out, turns out they were right...

My daughter got shit from an older co worker when I delivered her to work at Ticketek (sp?) on the bike one day. She said she shouldn't come to work on the back of a bike as it gave a bad impression. My daughter told her to get fuc*ed.

I love getting the stink eye from people. I'm a computer geek by trade and some of the priceless reactions I get rocking into the lofty glass towers of our capital city, helmet in hand and looking at these poor tie wearing cubicle pilots staring out from behind their vacant eyes like lifes jail bars. How on earth could they possibly think in a million years that they are superior to me but you know what???? They do!

I get people trying to suck the fun out of riding by saying "oh that must save you a lot of money" as if I was some poor scrape of a thing and the bike was some money logic exercise. I get "oh your a temporary New Zealander" my favourite! Ever get those guys who veil their envy and you hear something like "oh my wife would never let me".

I've never had security called on me but I do get the icy "Can I HELP you?" from time to time.
