OK, the majority of this thread has had me CRACKING up! "Brush your tooth?" Hilarious! And the back story about how the guy saved up for his scooter? Sooo funny!

I don't think it's just the shorts; it's the shorts AND the baseball cap AND no shirt. That combo is a bit "gay".

That having been said, my response is, "Screw 'em!". Wear what you want to wear. And I'm with one of the initial posters who recommended that you carry "bear spray." (By the way, I just think that the concept of bear spray is HILARIOUS). I would DEFINITELY spray the next *&^% who had something to say to me on my next run.

Happy trails! <HR>

People can be stupid and most don't realize the ramifications of derogatory language like the one hurled at you. The real tragedy here is not whether or not you look gay, it is the fact that there is this uneducated intolerance mouth riding around your town on a scooter. This should be the topic of this thread.

Most people could care less if you were as flamboyant as Angel from RENT or as straight as Joey from Friends. You know what you are and if you are concerned about what you are projecting, the last person you should take fashion advise from is a dude on a scooter!

Most people's lives would be so much better if they stopped worrying about what others thought about them.<HR>

I get yelled at on every single run during the summer an average of five times. They actually get angry when I ignore them. It used to get me angry. Now I don't care. The only thing that bothers me is when they throw things. I've had bottles thrown at me and fruit. They never hit me though. The kicker is that I live in a vacation area it's not what you would think of as a bad area. <HR>
