Probably pretty obvious that big city living gives one a greater chance at
spotting some random person riding a uni than living most other places.

I agree with John Foss’s guess at seeing only about 1 random rider a year.

The most random was when I visited Denmark a dozen years ago and spotted a
7-yo girl riding hers. We could hardly communicate, but I showed her I
could ride.

No, Danish police did NOT arrest me for child abuse.
