Anyone else toe tapping? Also taping my fingers to the drum beat on my handle bars.

Does it make me look like a...

Perhaps the OP is creating an excuse for

The only thing I listen to is the beautiful music my evo makes. I might tap my toe to that!

Sometimes I'll pretend my bike is a pole and do some fancy pole dancing. While everyone is watching with their jaws wide open, the light will turn green, and I'll quick hop back on my bike and ride away.
That's what you call talent.

Sometimes I will nod my head if I'm cruising, and it's a good song.

Finger tap not only when stopped, but also when cruising. I can’t sing worth a crap so since no one can hear me I belt it out while cruising as well.

Guilty as charged. Not just when stopped. Since I'm on a trike I can really get into it without wobbling around. I'm sure I don't want to see a replay. 😁
