Unidentified Bicycle Object

I rode my fixed Bike Friday to work today. This is my most minimalist bicycle - front brake only, low bars, no attachments on the braze-ons, no bags or fenders. My route takes me through a wide-open parking lot of a local home supply store. I homeless man was toting four bags of empty aluminum cans; I passed through the parking lot about 20 yards away from him. I guess my setup looked a little unusual - 6 ft guy on a tiny-wheeled bicycle whizzing by. From over my shoulder I heard him exclaim loudly and with enthusiasm: "Hay-ell, well god-DAMN!"
