Ah, the grizzled and weird bike tourist. I seem to find them on the well-traveled long distance routes. I had a “great” encounter with one when going down the coast in 2006. When they learned my back wheel was busted from broken spokes, they lectured me about their hand-built wheels and the thousands and thousands of trouble-free kilometers they got from them. The fact that I was passing him regularly with busted wheel a couple days later sure seemed to make him unhappy!
