Umm they can see out the window at our bikes and gear which is a little
more than your average bike tourist. It wasn't even in the coffee shop. All
we had was our laptops and the coffee we ordered no more or less than most
of the other customers. And where do you get off saying we choose to live
this way. You think it's okay to spit on and look down at a class of people
by justifying why they are there as if you knew. Just like the racist know
that all those black men are bad right?
