I can agree with that, I look like a short guy unless you look really closely, since I dont wear girly gear most of the time either.

I now have ONLY monoposto.

Dude, that would be punishable by an ass whoopin! Who DOES that?!

I have been guilty of the stare down as well, typically when they get too close to me. I just turn around and sit while they get all uncomfortable. Even more effective when actually moving. Not that I recommend this, but when on a familiar road and being tailgated, I will do it.

It's happened to me in Panama City. I'm sitting at a light and all of a sudden I feel someones hand on my shoulder and then the bike squat down when her ass hit the seat. She's lucky all I did was yell at her.

And the stare down is funny as hell. Especially when they start squirming visibily or pointedly look at their passenger while their passenger looks at you
