The Funny things non-cycling work mates/others say....

[snapper_37]

I've had a classic today and wanted to share it.

Earlier in the week I had purchased a rather nice new jacket - all singing and dancing blah blah. I was showing off it to my work mates and giving it all the 'windproof', 'waterproof', 'more hi-viz than a xmas tree' etc etc.

Anyway, today when I was having a ciggy 5 min break admiring the view outside, I was checking out the clouds.

My friend 'What are you looking at the sky for?'
Me 'Checking out the clouds'.
My friend 'Uh, ok but why?'
Me 'Well because it's going to be a bitch of a head wind going home'.
My friend 'So?'
Me 'Well because it does my effing head in sometimes'.
My friend 'But why?'
Me (getting a bit pissed off now) 'Well because it's hard work and that'.
My friend 'I don't get it - you said your jacket was windproof so what's the problem?'
Me 'What you on about?'
My friend 'Well surely if it's windproof, the jacket will stop the wind blowing on you'.

As sure as Judith Chalmers has a passport, this was the conversation. I collapsed laughing and muttering something about 'Oh yeah and if it pisses down, the rain will msimply avoid me'.

Couple of others....

'How do you get up in the morning?' Alarm, like anyone else. Then one leg out followed by the other.
'How do you smoke and ride a bike to work?' I don't, I have one when I get there.

You mean you have not perfected the art of smoking and riding?
Slacker.

I got lots of comments when I did a Charity Ride.."what you are going to ride 120 miles is a day ?" - I replied "nope in a bit over 6 hours.......there are 24 hours in a day !!"

Over 20 years ago, a group of us decided to ride overnight from Widnes to the York Rally. We were approaching Huddersfield when a couple of the youngsters said they were feeling peckish. Of course, it was Saturday night/Sunday morning and there was no place open. Mick suggested a detour and get something at Wakefield Services on the M1. We found the service road and we also found the services were shut - apart from the petrol pumps. "They might have pop & snacks there." Six cyclists approached the cash window and the attendent looked at us, then at our bikes and back to us; "You've not come on the motorway on those, have you?" Mick turned to him and said "Yes, in the fast lane!"

Next you'll be saying you don't have a hydration pack full of sherry.

I cycled to the bank one lunchime and as I approached the counter in my shorts, cyclechat jersey, rucksack on back with pump sticking out the top the lady asked me if I had come by bike ? . I said "no, what gave you that idea"

 

[Origamist]

I arrive at reception in my cycling kit and am greeted my two smiling girls:


Receptionist 1: Woo, big thighs!

Receptionst 2: (peers over desk) They're like a slab of meat!

Receptionist 1: (pause) Yeah, like a pig on a butcher's hook!


Surreal and funny, but also true...

Funnily enough, this morning in the lift:-

"So how far do you cycle?"


Yadayadayada says me.

"What every day?"

"Yes".

"Oh you're so brave".

"Eh?"

"You're so brave, it's really dangerous out there".

"No that's fallacious" I said.

She then moved away quickly. Probably misinterpreted what I said, but then she was a trainee solicitor.

HLaB, Dayvo and Magnatom have a funny story about the barman in the pub after we'd finished PfS.

I'll let one of them tell it.....

...but then she was a trainee solicitor.

Aw, bless her...

Well, that's not THAT funny. It would take me 1 and a half weeks!!!

Ok then...

We've just finished Pedal for Scotland, a 55 mile cycle. We are looking a little like you would look after having cycled 55 miles at a reasonable pace. On top of that we parked our bikes outside the pub, we were all wearing cyclechat T-shirts, wearing cycling shorts, wearing cycling shoes etc.

So we approach the bar, Dayvo with credit card in hand....

Barman: So what have you lads been up to today?

 

[BentMikey]

The funny things they do...

Looking at your crotch, being caught at it, and blushing...
