Only from kids. Used to do it myself when I was a kid. I just give 'em
a smile and keep pedalling.

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one
instruction. By induction, every program can be reduced to one instruction
which doesn't work.

I just get "cool bike!" from kids.

The only ped comments I get are "that looks comfortable" from peds at
lights and "Stop lying down on the job!" from road workers. (And only
them for some reason.)
