Odd cycling habits/rituals?

[Cyrill666]

Does anyone have any cycling rituals or habits whilst out riding?

I quietly apologise to dead animals on behalf of whoever/whatever caused them to shuffle off their mortal coil as I cycle along - I realise that makes me sound like a bit of a mumbling crazy , but there you go.

I always pretend to appear breathless at the top of a hill.

I praise my bike when I'm having an enjoyable ride - "good girl", " nice climb", "sorry you've been locked in the garage all week, hope you've enjoyed stretching your legs" (yeah I don't get that either)!! I'm not a nutter (honest)

I have to cycle to the right,not the left of pot holes. As you can imagine this is a bit dangerous when the pot hole is in the middle of the lane.

I have Johnny Morris style chats with creatures I pass.

Mainly Victor Meldrew impersonations.
Johnny English if there is a pretty lady about.

I point and shout "peasant!" at cyclists in Aldi/Lidl clothing

Ignoring anyone who cheerily says hello and waves, especially if they're not riding a carbon frame with wheels at least 38mm deep

No wonder motorists are struggling to get round you and blowing their horns!!

Staying upright and not falling off.

Think I'll take up train spotting or beer mat collecting, so people think I'm more normal than this^ lot!

I say hello to the animals I encounter, as @phil_hg_uk will confirm.
