 I have been cycling along now for a good 6 months in London and not heard much stuff - I have had the occasional "oi you little p***k" and "f*****g cyclists" I want to hear some quotes of some of the intelligent things that have been shouted at you whilst cycling along!
|
 |
 As i left a bike shop (on a brand new bike)
"get off my bike!" by some pikey walking along
|
|
 Sorry mike,i thought it was mine.. Only thing that pops into my head is when your riding on the road and youngsters shout 'oi,your wheels are going round!'
|
|
 Oi DIng - leave that sheep alone....
|
|
all in all its just another brick in the wall
|
|
sorry thought it was a song thread 
|
|
.....we dont need no education....
|
|
 'Hey! Helmet head...!' 
|
|
"Intelligent things" HM were you riding in Bradford
|
|
 A twitcher once stopped me and X Commie and asked "Do you think thats a Yellow wagtail?" to which we both looked bemused and said "NOT A CLUE!"
He then went on to guess that our bikes must have cost about £250plus as 'they looked expensive'!!!
|
|
Once stopped a twitcher and asked him if he knew the most common owl in britain after naming them all told him he was wrong "Its a Teat owl"
|
|
 To which the reply is "so is you mother"  Actually I once got asked "got any drugs mate" while riding past a pub on my road bike....this was in the middle of the 1998 drug hit TDF. I thought that was quite funn!
|
|
 Rode past a guy one day who just smiled & said "Morning"..... he was crouched down at the side of the trail having a dump at the time
|
|
 "haven't we been up that hill already?" Anon.
|
|
 I've had the "oi that's my bike" quite a few times  Worst was some chav when I was locking up my bike with the cheapy lock "That's a crap lock, I'm gonna come back and have that" Look just fcuk off and buy a ringtone or whatever it is you do
|
|
PS the guy in my office rides a recumbent, and apparently a lot of these 'bent riders' have noticed a sharp increase in abuse from pubs near traffic lights since the smoking ban 
|
|
 They should consider themselves lucky that their bikes aren't confused with some kind of mobile ashtray
|
|
"haven't we been up that hill already?" Wasn't that a hit for Manfredd Mann?
|
|
Yes they are lucky Mike. A strange breed, they seem perfectly happy to trade increased efficiency for looking like a complete tit

 Me and a few friends went blasting through a tunnel on a cannal bank to be confronted by a group of people...one of which shouted "Why dont you get a bell" where his mate turned round and said "F$ck off fred you dont put a bell on Whyte"...all three of us had whytes - good lad I thought. Whilst commuting home some young lads were shouting "nee nah...nee nah...nee nah!" didn't occure to me it was my flashing helmet light they were taking the piss out of...got seen though Best one though had to be tramming down a forest road at the back of the old wire works at ambergate derbyshire...when a middle aged man shouted "slow down lads c'mon" Where we all shouted in a vauxhall corsa stylee C'mmmmmmmmmmmoooooooooooooooonnnnn!
