I've had a few adventures on the bike - mainly people yelling AAAARRRGHHH as they drive past me.
People swearing, the usual.
Also had girls at the lights checking me out, girls and women commenting on my "hot ass" (this was at a time i had just gotten back into exercise so it came just at the right time
)
I also beat a lot of people through traffic. Best i had was riding from uni - and a girl i knew passed me - i continually passed her most of the way home then she'd pass me - needless to say she was impressed!
esp when i travelled the 25k in the same time she drove it ?I saved $$$ on petrol - and didn't have to pay for a gym membership.
It really surprises me when bogans yell abuse out of their cars, u end up taking the same or less time to get home don't spend a cent, save the environment and don't need a gym membership. gotta love that
The guy at my local bike shop can't understand the people who live 25km from the city, drive home, drive to the gym work out, drive home again.
why not commute by bike - then do some muscle training
much easier
Also i'm a performance car driver I always make sure i give way to cyclists and motorcyclists - always leave room - I think a lot of the drivers on the road should be forced to at least ride a motorbike let alone a pushy- might change their conduct a little.
On my pushy i also make sure I'm curtious to other drivers. The other day I got out of the way so a semi could go around the corner (was a forward and turning lane) - waved him through - you should have seen the expression on his face - he couldn't believe a cyclist would be so curtious
