yes. i have let it drop at work that i am an active cyclist and i like to get around town/regionally to keep tabs on what's happening. coworkers see my crazy farmer tan and will ask me if i've ridden anywhere
awesome/fun lately or ask for easy rides/cruising recommendations. always happy to oblige. i get the "where do you recommend buying?" for an entry level road bike question about every 2-3 months.
again, always happy to oblige. haven't "converted" anyone into a hard-core roadie over the years but pleased to note that i have gotten a few people into gravel/mtb and just doing
errands/getting exercise around the neighborhood/biking vs driving on an occasional level..
