    i claimed the scalp of a fully kitted out roadie on london Bridge whilst riding a Boris bike he as you'd expect came after me and caught me at the red traffic lights. He came alongside and said well done you were doing 21mph I've never seen anyone go that fast on a Boris bike… I was quite pleased with myself and it was a nice compliment from the dude…

    I was told my legs are eye candy by the receptionist this morning. Not a Hambones type receptionist. More like the woman in the Tom & Jerry cartoons. Oh well...

    Cycling through the small tunnel into Heathrow airport with a car behind me.

    The window opened as it passed me on the other side and the passenger leant out and shouted, "Wow, you were going SO fast".

    I get asked for ID in bars quite a lot for a balding 33 year old.

    Every time somebody on a geared road bike tell me they couldn't keep up with me on the fixie (not that often in fairness.)

    And when I got told that 4 1/2 hours for 70miles miles on the same fixie was actually a bloody good time.

    The other day, when the boss told me I was by far the most talented design engineer in the company, not sure if that means the others are expecially bad or what though.

    When the guy from my LBS asked me if Cancellara knew I'd "borrowed his legs", after I gave him a bit of a rinsing on my SS, he was on his Ti speed machine at the time!
    "Impressive break"

    "Thanks...

    ...I can taste blood"

    Following a group photo after last year's CityRace, a collegue emailed asking
    'Do you have a license for those legs.......?'

    I'm assuming it was a compliment

    A whispered "see what I mean about his legs" by a girl to her mate when I was at Uni (I was wearing shorts) - I think it was a positive comment!

    And...

    "You've got lovely eyes..." with that "...and I'm going to make them pop out of your head in a minute" intonation. Sadly, the moment passed...damn...

    I was doing some ice-sculpting recently while gently singing some opera when a group of children and young mothers drifted towards me in some kind of transendental daze and uttered, while weeping, "you are the messiah".

    I had some young girls ( prob upp 6th formers), shout out ' nice arse mate ' ( in a posh accent ), on a ride into Windsor last year - not sure what they thought as they passed and saw how old I am but it made me feel good all day ...

    A compliment about my track driving made to my mate as he watched me doing some laps by a former multiple scottish saloon car champion. Made me smile a bit.

    Bike related:

    The final part of my commute home is through a park and usually plenty of dog-walkers, joggers etc.

    Riding towards two females and one whispered to the other. Don't know what she said, probably something like he's a bit old to be riding a bike but I heard her mate's reply which was

    "yeah but look at the size of his thighs though"

    Still cheers me up when I think about it :)

    A couple of years ago, I lost a lot of weight and got very toned and fit doing a lot of climbing.
    One of the guys I worked with was very friendly with one of the PA's and he told me that quite a few of the female members of staff had been checking me out.
    So I went out that weekend and got some tight fitting (italian style) trousers to show of the goodies, and used to take little detours around the building past areas where the PA's and secretaries worked. It was like meercats as the heads would pop up from behind computer screens.
    If you got it, flaunt it, baby!

    Last Thursday two young lassies pulled up next to me whilst I was sat at a set of lights. The passenger then asked if I was wearing "bungi smugglers"? Anyway after a bit of giggling we both set off, me a bit more spritely than normal (well there were two young ladies eyeing me up) the passenger then shouted at the top of her voice "your a*rse is well fit mate". Looks like those hard winter miles have paid off. :D

    This morning I got a yell of:

    GO GO Power Rangers
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    Not sure it was a compliment, but a rather pretty girl in a car once shouted "pedal faster fat boy" at me. :oops:

    Total class!

    Was waved at by a bus full of 6th form girls last night

    Pathetic, but I put the hammer down and overtook them.

    Once they were out of sight I collapsed in a heap :oops:

    Best compliment ever I got from a chap on a hiking holday, I was 16.
    "you are young and fit but will not be able to do all that distance and climbing in only one week".
    I had already done it in one day.

    Or on honeymoon in Fort Williams. From BB manager:
    "You will need the full day to climb Ben Nevis. No, you can' do it in a morning"
    Next morning I get up early, climb and got back and I was ready for late breakfast at 10:30. "I've done it"
