Cyclists who say "hello" on a commute

[deptfordmarmoset]

Someone woke up in a good mood

I think Martin woke up with a bloomy neck.

 

[downfader]

Was it like this?

Bore Da all
There was nobody around to say hello to at 0630 this morning

I've got a couple of weeks off work coming up so god help anyone foolish enough to try to engage with me on the way to work this week. Or at work for that matter.

I only say Hello to other cyclists who are sagitarius Linux users.

Anyway, where's El Azul for his Kerching? Is he not up yet? Can somebody wake him?

I can only say that I am so glad I wear a LInux tshirt

I've started a list....

i to find it bleedin' scary, riding home from a manual labour job so i am knackered and wearing full ex military gear and have a 35 litre backpack on and whilst i am plodding alone suddenly comes a roadie in full lycra flying past and shouts helooo. i think he might have guessed i was a proper cyclist normally as i was in clipless, but i was still surprised by what a damn friendly and sociable bunch the world is these days!
Cheers Ed

You've put it on upside down...

[QUOTE 3177357, member: 1314"]The other one was a bloke who started talking to me as I cycled around Parliament Square and started giving me the happy bunny 'aren't we a great golly good cycling community all happy-wappy on the road to green consciousness and the road to smug cycling Heaven'.

He got the blank.[/QUOTE]
As soon as one of these muppets, primarily an urban well-paid-job-in-town species, says "we", like I'm his blood brother or something, I simply say "There is no "we" mate, there is no "us"" and ride away shaking my head. Nobbers.

Please may I have a full and proper description of your sad, miserable self so, if and when I ever get near Welling ... I can be sure and ignore you?
And be quick man ... I may sneak down there and, heaven forbid, smile ... and be nice ... in a northern sort of way.
And that would never do ... would it?
Oh, and
Peace and love, man.

Perhaps I need a Tshirt with Linux on the front and Nobber on the back

Just to ensure people say hello

 

[Geoff Crowther]

To be on the safe side just ignore anyone on a bike who looks excessively tall.

But, pray, how would I know? Unless he stops ... to get off his bicyclette ... to strike me, for having ... smiled.
Please ... help.

 

[Geoff Crowther]

Oh my God. I've just had a thought.
You're not comin' anywhere near the beautiful Peak District while you're off work ... are you?
And I still don't know what you look like.
Ohhhh my God!

 

[young Ed]

yes he has to be 10 or 20 ft so not too hard to miss
Cheers Ed

Well, given he's a bona fide northerner....
