Heckled on a TT by Lesley Bike Shop Boys??

[currystomper]

Just finished a my first Time Trial around Loch Leven - I was slow and had a mechanical before getting to the climb - guess what? some riders choose not to race but to heckle us slow guys from the side of the road.

Cheers guys!!

Crucial, I'd say.

self-gratification artists.

 

[Rob3rt]

Got to be honest here, people here are branding a bunch of people self-gratification artists etc, when for all we know, they were shouting "come on, give it some", but the OP took this as a criticism since he was flustered after his mechanical and embarrassed by his lack of rapid-ness.

If they were stood at the side of the road shouting, "ffs how slow are you, any slower and you will be going backwards, you suck, you don't belong, go home dickhead" that is a completely different story!

How about he tells us what they said, then we can have a little think about if it could possibly have been a misunderstanding or if the "hecklers" were indeed douche bags!

I have never come across negative heckling at a cycling race so I am with Rob3rt. What were they shouting?

 

[Garz]

was this an organised race or other TT effort?

 

[Sittingduck]

C'mon we need to know what was shouted

 

[HLaB]

was this an organised race or other TT effort?

Organised by KCC on behalf of the FCA. (Kinross Cycling Club and Fife Cycling Association)
Curry if you havent already done it you should maybe drop Andy a line, he's a good bloke.

 

[Garz]

Just poor form. Not as bad as the manchester crowd that ransacked the feed stations without paying but nonetheless no excuse for it.

T'other week I was at the Buxton MTT and I was shouting encouragement as riders passed. I shouted 'go on mate, good effort' at one rider but he was well p*ssed off and yelled back. He looked like he was struggling so maybe thought I was taking the p*ss.

Maybe this is a similar sort of thing???
