was it any good?
certainly didn’t look it. the joys of working at 4 am near a 24 hour mcdonalds eh?
I’ve been known to yell cycling specific rubbish at cyclist, seeing the look of fury change to a smile is priceless.
A few years back on a Melbourne cup day ride out in shitsville someone yelled get 6 cars as they drove past.
Got a “get amongst it” today as I overtook banked up traffic tonight on their right. Good times.
one time i was ride up rucker’s hill in northcote late at night and a bunch of guys in a hotted up commodore slowed up next to me and encouraged me by yelling things like “GO LADY LANCE!” and “YOU CAN DO IT!” out the side of the car.
as soon as i got to the top, they beeped, waved and rode off. it was pretty rad.
Just had someone drive past me on Mount Alexander in a lowered ''fully sick" falcon and yell “Joaqin Phoenix rides a mother f*cking mountain bike!” at me. Im still confused.
If you put on your best shitsville accent… ‘Joaqin’---->‘F**kin’… aaaand that’s all the sense I can make of that…
I keep a blackboard in the car with time-gaps for breakaway commuters.
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
you gotta admit thats pretty funny
I’m not too proud to say I’ve missed you shortsie.
i was called a ‘goose-faggot’ by some guy the other night.
while getting a tow off an unknowing ute driver a passenger from another car yells “you should fuckin die for doing that!!!” not too smart, nor witty, nor “sick”… but you cant really expect such things from GC bogans
^ I think that’s a fair punishment for that, don’t you? Death for a tow…
I also like hearing when a bike riders dies and if he wasn’t wearing a helmet people just say “well it’s his own fault then isn’t it”
Fucktards.
I don’t really understand the reason behind holding onto a moving vehicle whilst riding fixed. Seems like it would be a bit more useful with a freewheel.
The idea of my cranks moving at a stupidly high cadence and ending with one crank arm latched underneath a cars wheel-well is what normally deters me.
^indeed, in strict comparison, this act would prove more beneficial when riding with a freewheel… however, spinning your legs at “stupidly high cadence” generally requires one of the following: (a) legs like Chris Hoy, or (b) some form of assisted propulsion - ie. a tow (be it by way of physical attachment or drafting) or alternatively, a big arse mutha fuking hill. So in this sense, even when riding fixed, it’s still easier than just plodding along under you’re own steam
… copious quantities of crack would undoubtedly also allow an individual to spin like crazy
My wife and I got “PENIS!” yelled at us last night by some teen girls driving mum’s minivan on the way to the city last night.
On the way home, some commodore driving douche was beeping us, caught up to him at the lights (he was turning left), pulled up next to him, gave him a big grin, my light went green, his didn’t… He looked silly yelling out “fuckhead” at my wife as she past him still stuck at the lights.
seen a guy in maccas with dyed hair in a ckecker pattern, then some joker walk over and placed a pickle on his head and said “check mate” there was a mad dash out the door for a fight. just about everyone in maccas had tears in their eyes from laughing.
Sick burn for the third time in as many months from the same woman on my commute down Ray st Fitzroy North to avoid Stgeorges/Brunswick traffic.
Not a massively wide street, but ample room for both cyclists and cars. This woman on all three occasions has gotten hard on the horn from about 20 - 30 metres away and stayed on it while she fucking fangs over all the speed bumps past me, she doesn’t get off the horn until she’s well past me. The first two times I was too confused/amused to do anything but stare at her as she does this. This morning I was riding with my girlfriend so I yelled and pointed saying “That’s the crazy woman I was telling you about etc”. I really want to know her motives behind this crazy behavior but at the same time I am staying the fuck out of her way. She is a menace to society.
