Being overtaken by an impatient driver, only to catch up and "slow" them down again at the next set of lights. I usually give a little wave as I pass

Arse holes that are dressed up like the pros and pass you without saying a word, and then a few miles down the road flag you down as they have a flat tyre and can't be bothered to carry any tools ect now that makes me laugh

The two women coming towards me last week on a country lane who, as we greeted each other in passing yelled "We're going to go faster than you soon!"
Riding all the way home on the top ring, even up the hills I struggled to complete in one go in any gear 6 months ago
Overtaking all the cars at the roadworks
Random wildlife I see, mostly birds, the odd rabbit and suicidal squirrels.
Getting an appreciative beep from a van driver whilst riding (on the red pavement) stood up. Im guessing he liked my bottom

When I stop off at one of my favourite boulangeries and see a belly-busting pastry waiting for me...

Older guy near me, must be well into his sixties and retired, who parks up his car in same place in a lay by, and goes out for a run on a tasty Italian steed, Cervelo I think. Kudos, hopefully I'll keep it going for another 20 odd years.
Oh and roadies who fly past me on hills, as I am the 17 stone anti-Pantani
who then get a bit twitchy as I catch them on the flat afterwards...joyous

Last year I was cycling along in my lycra when a fit looking bit of mature in a BMW pulls alongside and shouts at me "nice arse." Put a smile on my face torn the rest of the day.

How much does it cost to Oldham?
This morning I chuckled to myself (I've been fannying around with it for three weeks) as I managed to change up to the big ring.
It's a big thing OK?

Other cyclists nodding or saying good morning and the freedom on a bicycle, although not so keen on the leaves on the ground, they are dangerous! Especially when it has been raining...
