I can think of a few reasons:
(1) living on the edge
(2) it's kinda gay
(3) you live in the 'hood where a bike seat can get you a fat rock
(4) only hipsters and yuppies sit on bike seats
I was watching a guy in a hoodie standing up on his pedals at a crosswalk in front of me. It's really an art to wait for a light to change while balancing your bike. As I was pondering this, wishing I could photo-document the phenomenon, and the guy whistles in my direction.
A new 'whistle song' or a pick-up stategy? He whistles again. I ignore. Another whistle. So I make eye contact. And the homie says, "Hey can I get a smoke?" Ahhhh...
I can't wait to whistle at people to get their attention! Saying hello? Passe! Need to ask directions? Everyone just fucken whistle at randoms for whatever it is you need!! It's totally hip and you'll be living on the edge.
