appeasr to breakl the rules in so many ways that he must be a wanker.

And one tells me to buy a car.   ;D

One commenter suggested his van was worth £1000, rather less than my bike.

Pah, amateurs!  I got shouted at to "get a fucking car[1] you wanker" a couple of weeks ago.  And I wasn't even on a recumbent.   :P


[1] Presumably that's one with room for a mattress in the back, rendering the masturbation unnecessary?

LOL!  I love those, they are far less common nowadays.  In that London you can sometimes return the compliment a bit down the road when leaving them behind in the queue.

"Get a proper bike!"

Nothing particularly unusual about that, until I realised it was coming from the passenger of a Smart Fourtwo.   :facepalm:

Not shouted and to be fair, not an oik, but I got a " Oh no it's a Martian!" from a chap as I entered work this morning.

I'm guessing that my prescription cycling glasses are even less flattering than I thought.

I had a driver shout (I assume sarcastically) that I had a fantastic arse yesterday.  Realised I haven't had an arse comment for absolutely ages.  Think I've been riding a recumbent too much.   ::-)

I've had time to reflect on the "Nice Arse" comment hurled at me from outside Worksop hospital in the early hours of last week's Saturday morning.

My bum does excellent work in connecting my legs to the rest of my body.  I'd be rather lost without it.

I once had a Landrover draw up alongside me on a small country road. And the horsy lady in the passenger seat said " you need a bigger saddle" . Now as they were towing a  horsebox, I take it to mean I should be riding a horse, but it could have meant she thought I had a big arse and my saddle wasnt big enough!  I like the first one best ;D

There is a danger that I became an oik last Tuesday.

Heading south on the A34, just leaving Congleton on the trike, I spied a young woman going the other way, on the opposite pavement on a *unicycle*. In a moment of genius  :-\ I said "I think I've got one of your wheels"

She grinned.

I hope she heard what I said, and not "I WHIGH  ISG SOG OOS JS HASL WHOOOX"

All I get in this bit of Essex is "I want one!"

They could always go out and buy one if they really wanted one!

Had that one when out on the trike.

About 5 minutes later ended up beside the vehicle, and moron leans out and again shouts "get a proper f@cking bike"

Answer is very simple

Point out wheels and count to three, than apologise for causing his brain to overheat counting as far as 3

The two guys in the back seat found it very amusing

Dunno what he shouted at me, but following a very close overtake some Yoof leaned out of the car passenger window and bellowed summat.  The really odd thing was, he'd wrapped something round his head so you couldn't see his face!  Which freaked me out, so I didn't ask him to come back and say it again properly.

I really think what's needed are a series of public information films, explaining to the oiks exactly how intelligible comments shouted from a moving vehicle are over wind, tyre and engine noise.

They'd either give up, or make more of an effort...

Or eggs  :-\


I once got the helmet lecture (and told to ride on the pavement) from a ~7 year old child in the back of a taxi in BSL.  Unfortunately I needed both hands for braking, so didn't get an opportunity to debate the legality.

That depends on whether it is possible to explain doppler shift in words of up to one syllable.  :demon:

Fairly easily, if the syllable is "Ouuuraaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
