Pointless / stupid things shouted at you whilst on a bike #364

[4F]

"Oi mate, your wheels are square"

WTF is the point of that ? I blame the schools....

 

[ianrauk]

I blame you and your square wheels.

 

[tadpole]

"Dead man riding"

"Oi mate, your wheels are square"

WTF is the point of that ? I blame the schools....

I had a car of youths follow me about and they kept shouting "oy mate! your wheels....they're going round"...
They must have been studying circles at school that day and you can't knock their enthusiasm, as each time they said it, it had a tone of wonder and amazement. I have no fears of old age, with young un's like this our world is in safe hands.

To get you to look at your wheels, then they can laugh.
You should just look at your wheels and make happy for a few seconds of their special lives. its all they have to look forward too.

"That looks like hard work" - that's because I'm training and it is!

 

[semislickstick]

"Are you a bus?" as I was using a bus lane(and cycle lane)

 

[kedab]

about 11pm riding home from work - car full of lads cruises past, one of them leans out and yells, 'you will be a champion one day!' cheeky git.

 

[jarlrmai]

[Hacienda71]

"Scrub it helmet head" shouted at my dad back in the eighties when helmets were not as common.

 

[BentMikey]

Thanks to someone on the predecessor to this, the C+ forum, or was it URC? Can't remember, anyway, this was one of my best comebacks ever. He tried to chase me down after I retorted.

p.s. apols if you've seen it before.

 

[Moodyman]

Had a few shouts of encouragement during and immediately after last year's Olympics.
They were thoughtful but a bit pointless in my opinion.

Someone shook their head and made disapproving signs at me tonight ... the cause ... I was drinking from my water bottle and cycling at the same time (on a cycle path). I can't think of any other reason he was annoyed (apart from the fact I was moving and he wasn't).

 

[mr messy]

Lad leaned out piece'o'sh*t Corsa and shouted "Lazy bastid!" Go figure...

 

[bianchi1]

I was time trialling once when a car drove past with the passenger hanging out proudly displaying an 'adult' magazine. He shouted something like "check out the....." but I didn't hear the rest.

Made me smile despite the pain of racing.
