Yes, I do that. I sit in a chair with a brewsky and tell myself I'm just letting it cool off before putting it away 😏
Also, look in storefront windows as I pass by - I trying to just catch a glimpse of the bike underway (the bike, not me!). I have to be careful I don't look too long and run into something 😲 I probably look like a vain old fool!

I'll cop to this, the Johnn Hancock Bldg in Boston is the best for this.

I'll be looking at mine later. My first ride was 10 days ago, crummy weather since then. Maybe big snow on the way here later.
Spring can be such a cruel season.
And that ain't no April's fool.

I only turn around and look at the bike as I walk away...to make sure I remembered to put the Jiffy stand down.

No, I don`t look back at the bike.
