Pointless / stupid things shouted at you whilst on a bike #364

[Alistair thomson]

The one I get is , hoy mate your back wheel is going round.

I got whistled at the other day by a lass in a car. She must have defective vision.

Was just told I had a "nice bike". I believe his judgement may have been coloured by his breakfast, a can of lager he was supping, as I was on the 20 year old shopping hack.

In certain parts of the Fens, going on description,the bike is, 'cutting edge'!

Stopped the bike in a gap between parked cars to let a driver come through from the other direction. She, it seemed, angrily gestured for me to come through (not that she could park where I'd stopped, it was on zigzags outside a school and too small for her behemoth) and as I drew past her open drivers window I said thanks only to hear what I thought to be "You think you're tired mate??!"

 

[on the road]

I often get people in cars shouting things at me as they're going past, but I can't understand a word they're saying because of the doppler effect

A man in a van called me a f*ing w*nker and then quickly followed this up with "whoops sorry love" - still don't know what I did to rile him up

When the first warm days came this year I put on my bib shorts to commute and on the way home it was nice and sunny as I rolled past a pub (slowly waiting for the level crossing to open) got whistled at and "nice legs" shouted, unfortunately by a 50 odd year old shaven headed man.

Just a bit of fun so i took no offence, but how and why do these people get to the pub before 5 o'clock on a week day??!

They picked the wrong life partner?

Got shouted at by a car full of neanderthals once at a roundabout as they went past 'oi! chicken legs! Made me laugh actually as i'd doubt not one of them could keep up if they had a bike

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

I had one back seat passenger yell that he wanted to sniff my saddle.
The car passed me again later and he gave me a loud scream.
Definitely one of those new weed powered cars.

 

[Chris Norton]

Some girls in a convertable shouted at me to get over. Although that would have meant me falling into a massive pot hole.

You rode a bike. That's usually all you need to do to rile them.

they don't leave, just merge into the background, that's how.

On my way to work one morning, a man working on a roof tried to catch my attention, shouting "Hey mate. Hey mate. Hey. I say, hey mate". It was reminiscent of Alan Partridge's "Dan! Dan!......Dan!...."
He just didn't have the wit or the timing, his colleagues didn't join in, and when he finally told me that my back wheel was going round, he'd made such a mess of it that i expected to give way to a tumbleweed.
