I get a variety of different responses depending on which bike I am riding; most non-cyclists just smile at me on my very non-traditional bikes. When I encounter other cyclists on "nice" bikes it generally breaks down in one of two camps the people who give you a heads up "on the left" or whatever tend to also recognize what it is I am riding & will follow with "nice bike" or "is that a Rivendell?" The other batch are the lycra wearing, carbon fiber riding, workout enthusiasts who are trying to break their KoM. They rarely say anything, buzz by as fast as they can and only recognize or acknowledge other bikes similar to theirs. It really doesn't matter that many times my bike cost twice as much as theirs, it's just sort of a myopic view of the bike world & bikes as exercise equipment/ with social cachet.
