Just got to love the non cyclist mindset

[iateyoubutler]

I`m walking back home from picking up a few bits for tea tonight, and I bumped into one of my neighbours who had been walking her dog, "SO", she said "just tell me, now that you don`t have a car and it`s bitterly cold how you plan to get to work tomorrow?"

My answer "the same way as I always fecking get to work!!"

She looked at me stunned............................

The non-cycling fraternity have no clue, just because it`s cold I obviously have to become lazy. NO!!!!!!!

The idea of winter coats has been list to motorists now?

Do you routinely swear at your neighbour?

haha a bit harsh but she sounded a bit condecending so awesome reply

Did you run over her dog?

I've had similar, got to work one morning 'glowing' slightly and some muppet says to me "I'll bet it's freezing on that thing this morning"

 

[Fonze]

I think she was stunned because you said 'fecking'
Think I would be ..

Freezing cold rain out there this morning, I also think anyone going by bike is slightly mad.

I get similar astonishment when its -3C and I go for a run in a muscle vest. Weaklings just don't understand.

At the opposite end of the scale, a few years ago I was out riding here in Sussex on a warm summers day - 26 degrees - and a woman remarked that it was awfully hot to be riding a bicycle. How could I stand to pedal in such heat. I replied that I was from Australia and really didn’t find it all that hot. She raised a sceptical eyebrow and said, “but surely, even in Australia, it doesn’t get this hot.”

only when they play music loud at 3am in the week. well i say me , its the wife that loses the plot then ...

I have an even better solution. A. I don't have any neighbours and B. I don't work.

Isn't that what they call snow?

It's worse if you have a car and choose to cycle to work

My mother lives a few doors down and noticed my car outside my house daytime yesterday. She called me in the evening to give me an ear bashing for not using it.

I have a solution: I don't speak to my neighbours.

London?
