Ummm... I'd be careful about handing out "chuffs"! ;-)

Subject: [RBW] Re: Heard my first "Hey, nice Riv!" today. Felt chuffed
I ride in Berkeley and all of the East Bay... it's not uncommon to get chuffed
several times each day. And as well, to hand out chuffs to fellow Riv riders I
see. We are part of a not-so-secret not-so-subterranean society, that
recognizes and embraces, through use, ownership, and promotion, the reverence
of good things that work simply, and that simply work.

I've only had my Clem Smith Jr since late spring of this year and have put
about 750 miles on it. Rivendells of any sort are thin on the ground in my
Midwestern home. Most of the guys I ride with are only vaguely aware of the
brand. They do recognize my bike as an interesting curiosity. It's something
that's at variance with the generally mountain bike-oriented bikes they own. So
I've been pedaling along and simply enjoying the ride. Thus it was with a bit
of personal pleasure that I heard another rider call out, "Hey, nice Riv!" as
he cycled past this morning. I felt pretty chuffed, in a private sort of way,
that a stranger recognized the bike and called it out. Did I need the
"validation?" Well, maybe. Whatever. I must say that it was nice to hear. When
was your first such experience?
