I was just reading Lovely Bicycle's thread about walking bikes into grocery stores in lieu of shopping carts, something I've done here in ABQ, NM for years to the welcoming smiles and greetings of the two Albertson's stores in question (I keep the bikes out of stores with narrower aisles). I get the sense that this sort of behavior is a lot more chancy in the eastern-urban areas of the US. Perhaps it's all that crowding compared to our wide-open spaces.
Assuredly, ABQ has its share of assholes, but on the whole it's pretty relaxed about cycling and the various species thereof -- roadies proffer friendly greetings to duffers like me, for example.
