Oik: "[inaudible]"
Me: "What was that?"
Oik: "But what do you do when you get to traffic lights?"
Me: "I stop!"

Yesterday, en route to Brick Lane with PaulR, as we gyrated round The Minories a lad of around 5 years vintage stuck his head out of a passing van and hollered "Oi mister, I like your banana!"

Those of you familiar with my banana will know what he meant.

I know that banana has impressed a number of lady forumites.

Doesn't that depend what colour they're showing?

That banana has fascinated many a forumite...

One yesterday, one today. Hooted at by a Beemer as I rode into the airport approaching a pinch point, and thus in primary. I take primary there because two lanes merge and if I don't I get kerb-squeezed. The thing is, he did it well before the pinch point and in the end had plenty of room to overtake safely (which he did) and pull in again. Knee-jerk, I suppose.

Today, in the bus link in Crawley as I walk the bike from the ped area across the road to my bank. Muttering behind was getting louder, and then I very distinctly heard the following monologue:

"I could eat that arse...and he's gotlovely thighs...and those calves...."

I turned round to find an only slightly rough-looking woman in her forties following me. She grinned when I looked round.

"Well, you have! Ignore me, I'm pissed"

Well I was already with my pithy tale of bike path and dogs off the lead and owner with their nose buried in their smartphone and me on the airzound and the ensuing comments, but I just don't feel it's worthy of following on from Steph's post.

I think something along the following lines might be more appropriate:

"You're in there mate!"

Oi where's your trousers? (Lycra shorts not counting).

Response "your mother is ironing them"

Speechless oik stares at me...

A new one (to me) tonight.

From passenger window:
"Oi mate. Something on the back of your bike is flashing."

I had a group of kids shouting at me to 'go faster' and 'put some effort in' climbing up the hill to my house (slowly) on the way home tonight.

Then I swung round (to get to my front door) and the kids thought I was reacting to them and ran off

"Are you fucking gay?"

Anyway, it seemed he wasn't propositioning me, and he took great offense for some reason that I'd arrived at that conclusion. I scooted off quickly down a side street, he was turning a tomatoey colour.

Having had the "I hate fucking cyclists" comment addressed to me several times, I deeply regret that I have never had the presence of mind to suggest that the individual sticks to mating with its own species.

Struggling up Occupation Road, Watford, in the granny gear, with 12kg of the Tesco necessaries, council type in full hi-viz, leaning on a wall reading the paper, suggests "ride faster".

After a slight pause, during which I considered my walking pace versus his general blubbery physique and potential to violent recourse, I responded "work harder". Judging by the look on his face he resented the implication, but fortunately wasn't able to mobilise his lardy arse to do anything about it

And then you looked round and realised you'd forgotten to turn the rear LED on.....

Shouting actually has some benefit, even if it is just a wurra-woorough-aoogah aparently.

Grimping up Tomswood Hill after spinnin'an'swimmin, because of a total lack of vocalisation on the part of the oik I had to stop to work out that I had had beer or some such thrown at me by an overtaking oik, not been splashed by a puddle.

I had one call me a paki last week. That's a new one

Wendy · « **Reply #565 on:** 04 December, 2012, 07:28:22 am »

I get called a paki regularly. Whilst they clearly think it's derogatory, I'm quite flattered.

Kim · « **Reply #566 on:** 04 December, 2012, 01:16:31 pm »

Is paki the new gay, then? *boggle*

Wendy · « **Reply #567 on:** 04 December, 2012, 01:17:14 pm »

On YT innit. They can't see my face, only hear my voices.

Kim · « **Reply #568 on:** 04 December, 2012, 01:19:18 pm »

Ah, that makes a bit more sense. Sort of.

Red light! Red light! Red light! Red light!

The light was green when I went through, but there was all kinds of complicated stuff going on in the yellow box in the junction, which necessitated going very slowly so by the time I reached the other side it was moral outrage time for the guy at the pedestrian crossing.

"Wow! Sick bike!"

Not unusual, except I was on the Discovery at the time ^{_{(towing a trailer)}}.

O, that reminds me!
We overheard a "check out that bad boy bike" about the tandem from Stockport Yoof last weekend.

Kim · « **Reply #573 on:** 21 December, 2012, 09:31:47 pm »

Barakta's a veteran of Stockport Yoof. That's high praise indeed.

That's praise that is. The usual is "What's what? I don't know, lets kill it with sticks!"
