At Clapham South, on the way to Brighton on a FNRttC, a boozed up gentleman outside a pub told the assembled company that cyclists smelled. We had hardly got going.

A member of this forum and I were cycling through a town, when this guy shouted "Fat Feck". We looked at each other bemused, at most he weighed 10st, my self 9.5stone. It was only when I got home that it clicked, the driver must've been on route to the football game in the neighbouring town, Falkirk 🤣
Some years back, at one place I worked, there was an attractive postie lass who drove a van and often delayed ovetaking me whilst I cycled to said work. As she delivered to our premises, one day, I asked her why she did this. Apparently she liked to admire my backside - !

Ha ha!
It reminds me slightly of this...
Once when I was a student in Salford/Manchester I was wandering down Chapel Street when a car load of nice young drunken Glaswegian football supporter lads pulled up alongside me. One leaned out of the front passenger window and said "*** *** *** ***lookin' fe the main road."
I replied that they were on the main road.
The man looked like he wanted to get out of the car and kill me, but he tried again. "*** *** *** MAIN ROAD!!!"
Once again I pointed out that this was one of the main roads through Salford into Manchester city centre.
"MAIN FERKIN ROAD!!!!"
He'd clearly had too much to drink ... "THIS - IS - THE - MAIN - ROAD!"
30 seconds of obscenities, then "ARE YE TEKKIN THE FERKIN P*SS! M - A - I - N - E Road, Maine Road - Manchester City football ground!!!".
Oh crap ... "Sorry mate, I don't know where it is!"
*** = something incomprehensible to anyone other than a drunken Glaswegian football supporter!

That's disgraceful and outrageous.
You should never tell a joke to someone struggling up a hill
Quite right @alex_cycles ! I assumed she was quoting Chaucer.
I find it is never good to speak to people on hills, even encouraging comments can be taken the wrong way when we are on our limits.

Men shout that at you when you cycle down Hurst Street in Birmingham
Not me, they don't.

That's quite a significant change: the largest animal I heard of them eating before was Penguins.
Global warming perhaps.
