Why do people stare at bike riders?

[vice86]

...are people always looking at you at a stop light or in a parking lot as you're getting off your bike?

It's weird...beautiful day today so I went out for a ride...as I was waiting for a green arrow to turn left....the car to my right had a green light but it wasn't going anywhere..I look over and she's staring at me and the bike...same at another stop light.

Getting off my bike to go into Wawa, lady in a truck is watching me take off my helmet and like watching me..lol.

i was dressed up in boots, gloves and race jacket.....feels like people look at bike riders like some special breed of people..lol....as corny as that sounds
