The most fun I had was with bike taxi riders. They would clap and ask me to ride around. I was even offered to enroll in a taxi co-op. One aspect of this is that taxi riding is an entry level job and bike riding in general is commonly perceived as something that people with little means do. When I ride in, representing the better off world, they feel empowered.
