Odd cycling habits/rituals?

[phil_hg_uk]

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

She does

 

[Peteaud]

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

I shout "too much money" at those in Rapha

 

[50000tears]

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

I do this too. I think it comes from having 'conversations' with my dog when I take it out on walks.

 

[Drago]

I point and shout "IMPOSTER!" at riders in Team Sky clobber. The day will doubtless come when I do this to a real Team Sky member and will look a bit silly.

 

[Joshua Plumtree]

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

I give the two fingered salute to anyone who calls me a peasant!

 

[stephec]

I'm reading with interest..

While you're riding?

 

[Batgirl]

While you're riding?

haha not sure I'm capable of that yet.. perhaps one day!

I do know I'm a talking to animals type though.. I do that out horse riding and may well find myself talking to my bike as I talk to my car and my horse of course.

 

[tyred]

I deliberately ride slowly so I don't embarrass everyone else with my incredible speed and fitness

 

[Ganymede]

I sing.

 

[ianrauk]

I tut at dirty bikes

 

[Katherine]

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

Me too!

 

[MisterStan]

I tend to shout random Pro Cyclist names at people in full kit, getting progressively louder; there was a guy in the SKY/Cavendish World Champion's jersey some time ago; 'Cav!, CAV! CAV!' then I turn to the person i'm with and say, 'I don't think he saw me...'

 

[gazza_d]

I do this too. I think it comes from having 'conversations' with my dog when I take it out on walks.

Glad it's not just me then that does both of those things.

I also occasionally do Father Jack impressions calling either "Feck" or "Girls" depending on the situation Other that I think I'm quite normal

 

[Dogtrousers]

I sing.

Me too, especially if I can connect a song with where I am. Sometimes quite literally, like Captain Sensible's "Croydon". More often stupid puns, or just replacing song words with place names.

 

[hatwell]

I sing too - usually Half Man Half Biscuit songs for some reason
