Some girls once shouted "OMG I WUDNT BE SEEN DED IN THAT!"

And one guy said to me once... "You're not in France M8"

    I had a young guy ask me once if I was taking part in a marathon!

    I don't hear insults as I usually ride with my headphones in :wink:
    Pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand.

    Oh sooo hilarious....

    Funniest comment I've ever heard was at a triathlon - my club spectating and one of our chief rivals were racing - this big bloke struggling up the hill in their colours, and one of our guys shouts out 'Oh well done - you're first woman - excellent'.

    V funny - but maybe you had to be there...
  • A group of lads shouted at me years ago about how cr4p my bike was, I yelled back 'My best bikes your mum'...it felt good to see his mates laugh.

    Made the mistake of taking part in one of those traffic clogging right to ride exercises. Saying to a lady next to me that I was just about falling off my bike we were going so slow and copped a snide comment from a girl in front along the lines of "Tour de France".

    Well, if I was going to show up on a road bike wearing team kit, next to the rusty mountain bikes with flat tyres ridden by grungy students, just about anything would be TdF by comparison... :?

    Quality!!

    As for me, it's mostly been pretty lame - like "gay" or "hom" or something along those lines... Normally going too fast to hear what they have to say :wink: :twisted:

    Oh, and it seems that most chav-folk who seem to want to insult me are inbred.. Bless 'em.

    Had some very angry woman shout, "Are you blind" mixed with a load of abuse...the guy on the back of the tandem was BLIND. I really want to to catch her and say, "Well yes, actually he is" and see what reaction that had.

    This woman was in the passenger seat of a car, she was absolutely flaming. Don't ask me why, we were never more than 2 abreast and it was a wide road. You feel like saying to people, "You really need to get out of that damn car and CHILL OUT!"
  • Don't know about you guys, but almost every time I go out, some kid or other will shout

    "The wheels are turning!" as I ride past.

    Why?

    I tend to reply with

    "Tell your mum I say hi"

    By the time they catch on, I'm out of range to anything other than the inevitable torrent of foul language.

    I don't tend to get insults, I get smiles more often.

    Maybe my arse just looks great.

    Likewise. The only insult I received was a middle finger. A little kid said to me at some traffic lights, wow, you look cool. haha Must be my Windrams.

  • At London triathlon last year, there were loads of riders going past the hotel. A car then came by with some bikes on the roof and a gang of local yoot pointed and chanted "cheat cheat cheat" at the driver.

    I was quite impressed at the time.

    As I drove (sorry) home for Lunch today I went past a guy in full Belgium Champion/Quickstep gear today....brought a wry smile to my face, I can't bring myself to wear my KoM Jersey

    Having said that the guy in front was thew spit of Mark Cavendish so maybe.....but then what would they be doing cycling round Llandudno, North wales on a pretty grey day..

    I had a white van man with four builders squeezed onto the front seat pull up next to me at traffic lights. The one by the passenger window shouts, "You look gay in that outfit, mate." To which I replied, "You're the one checking out my ar$e, mate," and cycled off just as the lights were changing to green.

    My personal favourite was the time a chav shouted "Oi, dickhead! The Tour de France is in f*ckin' France" The punchline here was that it was 2007 and the Tour de France was actually winding its way through Kent.
  • I was out riding one day when a council wagon with 3 (not very young looking) blokes on board let me out at a junction. One of them shouted at me "aren't you a bit old for that?" (I'm 45) to which I responded, "aren't you a bit old for shouting at people out of the window?!" His mates were killing themselves laughing.

    Still brings a smile to my face.

    If by best you mean the one that offended you the most, surely "Oi cyclist! You're a f*cking c*nt and I hope you die!" ranks pretty high up on the list.
    Note: the above post is an opinion and not fact. It might be a lie.

    Roaming slightly OT here - the best insult I ever heard (in a school) was "your ar$e is so big it's got it's own gravity" - I wanted to go find the Physics teacher & applaud them for doing a good job.

    How's about using the 'delete' button - the one you probably won't have when I've replied to your post? :P

    More likely that she wouldn't fit into it in the first place. :lol:

    Surely that is an insult to your bikes. Wouldn't it be better said 'My worst bike is your mum'?

  • After being let down by a mate:-

    'There's two things I don't like about you - your face!'

    I was chatting with a rather barrel-shaped lady at the place where I used to work. She asked how far I cycle to get to work. I told her it was 14 miles each way. She asked if I did that every day and I told her I did. Then she asked me....
