In the Alps the other week, the French equivalent of WVM yelled "Putain!" out the window at me.  I assume he'd been driving in England too much and had picked up their bad habits.

Last week, from an Ingerland football fan dressed as a girl: "Darling, you know I've always loved you."

Yesterday crossing Wimbledon Park a chap 'interviewed' me about the tennis running alongside whilst his friend recorded me on a Blackberry. When I reached the exit they asked if I minded coming back so they could do it again!

In the wilds of ?Wiltshire? on this morning's Nocturnal Warty, consisting of 4 conventional bikes and a recumbent (bringing up the rear (*) as usual):

"Oi! He's cheating - he's lying down".

This was one from last week, I remain puzzled.

I believe that she is informing you that she is a Wanker.

I often have drivers informing me of this.

I think there must be some kind of soccerball tournament on, or something, because I got a loud toot from an airhorn through the window of passing Fiesta the other day. It didn't particularly bother me, though the hilarity of such an action is debatable. Usual troupe of simians inside.

Anyway, probably best not to do this if you about to be stopped by the red lights. A closer look distinguished them as Chavicus mater and I surmised they were probably driving mummy's car. Oddly when I pointed out that their car had a little plate attached to the rear that gave clearly identifying details and likely reception of a points-on-their-licence induced premium hike to mumsy's insurance, they revealed that the horn <mumble>must have gone off accidentally</mumble>.

Had a new one today:

Filled-to-capacity chavmobile comes alongside as I'm proceeding at a respectable speed down the A441 towards Redditch, windows open.  The full complement of chavs then proceed to bark (as in imitating the sound that dogs make) '22' at me in morse, before the car accelerates off to join the queue at the junction up ahead.

I have no idea.   ???

And having instinctively responded with some sign language that needs no interpretation, I was somewhat nervous about pulling alongside them at the lights.  Wrecked my cycling mojo for the rest of the ride, that did.   >:(


Karmic retribution for the American in the left-hand-drive sports car who matched my speed and shouted "Recumbents forever!" to me on the ride back to Ely on Monday, I suppose.

An old classic as I returned home from a Bank Holiday pootle with The Boy and Mrs. Hall

The dulcet tones of a feckless itinerant in his automobile as he hollered "Get off and milk it".

It filled me with a certain wossname.

When you catch him at the lights you can tell him to get out and milk it.  ;D

Plodder, Rottenhat and I encountered something like this on the Mille Cymru.  We were stopped at some temporary traffic lights in the depths of Cardiganshire, and the passenger of the car behind barked the whole time (several minutes) we were stopped.  I fear I'm missing out on a (sub)cultural phenomenon.

This only illustrates, as suspected, that the UK has gone to the dogs.

Had one a few years ago as my friend and I were cycling through Amersham.  Chav from car looks over and shouts out 'Oy, got any milk mate?' and then proceeds to run into the stationery car in front of him! 

My mate and I had to pull over before we pi55ed ourselves laughing! ;D

Quite obvious to me that they have heard how much fun dogging can be, but hailing from the parts they do are somewhat challenged in the understanding department. One bone short of a meal.

Not exactly an 'oik' incident, but it made me smile -I'm sad like that . . .

Proceeding in a westerly direction along Sustrans One. Pass a group of three young men on bikes who remark to each other on my recumbent.

Half an hour later: Proceeding in an easterly direction, same route, see same three youths approaching from opposite direction. Lead youth remarks:

"Oh look, he's got one too!" . . . pause, during which a puzzled expresion appears on youth's face . . . "Or is it the same one coming back?"

For some reason that makes me howl with laughter. My wife remarks acidly that I never laugh at normal jokes, only stupid things no reasonable person would find funny.

Ah.  It's possible they may have been delivering a rendition of the refrain of the song "Who let the dogs out?", which does contain two sets of five barks.  So a childish insult to a female cyclist.

I went over to Normandy in 2004 for D Day (595km; a sort of PBP taster) had no problems at all and was allowed to ride straight into all the closed off areas like Arromanches etc.

apart from one man in the back seat of a Scenic which passed me twice near Utah beach, he leant ridght out of the window and shouted a very vitriolic and angry few sentences at me both times (my French is not good enough to understand any of it); I was not even wearing any form of UK- identifiable gear.

very odd and completely out of character for France

Ah-ha!  I'd recycled the neurons for that song.  That makes about as much sense as anything's likely to, and would be entirely consistent with the flavour of oik involved.  It's certainly de rigueur to shout sexist abuse at random women in the street around here, though that imperative usually gets overridden by the WTF-factor when I'm on the 'bent.

This is obviously going back a bit, but when my mother was a student, she stayed with a French family one summer.  When they went out for a family drive, if they ever saw a female cyclist, the entire family would wind down their respective windows and yell "Poupée" at her, often with the result that the victim would wobble off the road.  Apparently, they objected to female cyclists because they wore shorts, which this family considered too immodest.

On Saturday, in Tonna, Neath, from one of a pair of approx 12-year-old-boys: "On yer bike sexy!".  Given that, in addition to the lycra I was wearing cap, gilet and sandals, the last bit was self-evident.  But, but.. I was already on my bike!

I was on the receiving end of the classic "yrrghghwwgghggghh" this morning, accompanied by gestures. I'm not normally bothered, but the naked aggression on the yrrghghwwgghggghh-er really p!ssed me off.

On Saturday, as the three Recumbents of the Apocalypse descended like a wolf on the fold (*) into the outskirts of Dolgellau, one of the local sîaf (**) lads shouted "I want one!"

Were it not for the facts that a) I was working quite hard to keep up, and b) it would have been wholly inappropriate, I would have shouted back "So do I, but they're both spoken for."

(*) In view of the later fox/chickens interface scenario, this may not be the most tactful simile to use.
(**) See what I've done?  I've faked the Welsh word for chav.

Very good, but I'm afraid I've just spent several minutes of my life trying to explain this joke to Mrs. Wow but have given up in desperation.
