Is it ethical to hit on your wrench?

Normally I don't like stopping by the shop on Saturday. It's not that I don't want to run into the owner - though that certainly is part of the equation - but because I know that HeyZeus is generally pretty busy with non-bike people on Saturdays - moms, people from the Chinese embassy, weekend warriors who haven't been on their Treks since Greg LeMond was riding the Tour.

"He's cute," says Candy, after I give HeyZeus his bottle of wine, a token of thanks for spending an hour on the bike, fixing it before setting out in La Rioja. "Is he single?"
