Things you should never say to a cyclist.

You must have driven to work in this weather, surely.

So were you.

Since when have motor vehicle speed limits applied to bikes?

Edited for spelung

We're closing soon.

We've had a small price increase

(Our business went elsewhere and it was very much noticed)

All this is pretty tame compared with being a motorcyclist, we get treated like we’re convicted murderers, shouted at through forecourt tannoys to remove our helmets, and although my pals that I ride with are all middle class professionals we have been told that we’re not welcome in a couple of pubs.

"Nice arse!"

I have had this shouted at me by a MILF in a BMW convertible, and while I'm sure she was being complimentary I actually found it a little disturbing.

Happened to me once from two young ladies in a car, when I caught with them at the lights they seemed a bit embarrassed, hopefully not because they'd seen me up close and realised their mistake.

"you looking at another bike? you have 3 in the house and only one ar*e" ..note to self, don't mention her shoes.... DO NOT MENTION HER SHOES

Or her having more than one arse

Had exactly the same experience several years ago, must be the same car!

"Nice arse!"

That happens to male cyclists on Hurst Street all the time ...

“Sorry mate, I didn’t see you”.

Are you cycling for exercise or leisure?

How about this one, said to me soon after that case where the cyclist with no brakes collided with a woman stepping off the pavement (or summat like that) in London,sadly ending in her dying. 'What about you f..k..g cyclist bastards killing that woman'! So all of us 'cyclist bastards' killed her,according to the knobhead.

Oh Dear...

 

[Vantage]

It's just a bike.

 

[oldwheels]

Picked up on twitter a letter in a newspaper I do not get. All cyclists should be fined if they do not have a bell on their bikes as well as lights.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Every now and then i get asked if i take my dog with me when i go for a bike ride,meaning do i have him attached to my bike with his dog lead. Though some have asked if i carry him under my arm. Those who ask know what type my dog is and that i'm a 'roadie'(albeit not a very fast one). He's quite small and has 5 inch long/short Queen Anne legs. How the fark could such a critter for example run down a hill at 35 mph attached to my bike?

BITD it was always, for reasons I never really understood, either "get off and milk it" or "oi mate, yer back wheel's going round!" - that's what passed for witty repartee in 1980s West Somerset!

It wasn’t just West Somerset.
