Two reactions from everyone at work. 1) Hello! You must be new here, which department do you need to meet with? 2) Oh.......no I didn’t notice you’re extra sweating, heavy jacket, and backpack that you normally never carry......What’s different?
On the one hand, kinda odd that no one remembers me even though I do work for a decently large company. On the other, no one has given me the “you’re going to kill yourself and your dog and all your loved ones” lecture yet.

Haha, I also just recently started riding my bike to work. Most of the younger people think it’s awesome. Some of the partners have started to give me the “you’re going to die on that thing” lecture, to which I respond “Oh I guess I should just stay inside forever and never do anything fun because I might get hurt”.

I had a body panel fall off on the trip, stopped to put it in my backpack near a small construction site and I noticed most of them weren’t wearing teir hardhats yet despite the equipment moving around.......not saying riding my bike around cars isn’t dangerous, but I have a heavy duty jacket, pants, and armored plates all over my body along with a helmet designed to take a pretty nasty fall and keep my head intact. These guys have nothing and that digger is rotating.....how much force does a 20 ton excavator need to crater a human skull?

It’s funny, the people most likely to point out that you’re going to die on a motorcycle are the ones that are also most likely to be overweight, over-stressed, eat a garbage diet, and are generally unhappy. They’re guaranteed an early, yet slow, miserable death due to their unhealthy lifestyle.
At least if you die in a bike crash, it’s at least usually pretty quick, and you’re doing something enjoyable before.

I’ve been riding to work since March when it was ~30 out.
*THAT* got me some weird looks/comments from my co-workers.
