Most pathetic thing ever shouted at you whilst cycling?

[Angelfishsolo]

Considering the bicycle can be traced back to 1817 (or 1865 if you actually want pedals!!) I have found that the evolution of yobbish shouts has not kept up.

I still regularly get "Your wheels are going round" shouted at me by 'people' who seem to think they have invented this phrase. (God I remember hearing it when I was 5 or 6 years old!!!).

Anyway what would you class as the "Most pathetic thing ever shouted at you whilst cycling?"

Most of the time, when people shout things from passing vehicles, I can't understand what they've just said. I'm sure the comment made by the white van man was worthy of Oscar Wilde, but all I hear is garbled speech. Most of the time though I'm too intent on struggling up a hill or battling against a head wind to pay much attention. I think the best one from a pedestrian I just passed was: "you've got a wheel on the back of your bike"! That was a revelation! - I thought it'd dropped off several miles earlier.

Last week, I got from a lead hoodie, of a group of five teenagers, "Turn that f£$%^&g light off it's hurting my eyes" as he walked down the middle of the road (rather than the path).

I've only ever been shouted at twice (to my knowledge).

Once was the "your wheels are going round" classic. The other was "Boo!" (whilst stepping into my path).

I'd say "Boo!" was the most pathetic.

Have been shouted at once..by a pr@t outside a pub: "Shouldn't you be pedalling."

I was going downhill at the time and needed a rest.

I think it was:

Oi! OI! Give me my bike back! Why, I'd run after you and give you such a hiding if it wasn't for these ****ing cleats...

It always tends to sound like "WHOOOORRRR!!! Whirr whoor wharr waa" whenever anyone shouts something .. especiallly if they're in a car.
