Facebook Friday! You Look Like You Could Use A Beer And Other Things Shouted At You On A Ride

It’s Facebook Friday on The Best Bike Blog Ever*.  This week’s topic sure put a thorn in your chamois and resulted in the most participated-in topic ever.  Woot.  During the week we ask our Facebook Friends (likers) a pressing question.  On Fridays, we lay it out so you can play it out.  If you’d like to be part of the fun, click on this link to the Best Bike Blog Ever’s Facebook page and “lick” it.  I mean “like” it.  This week’s question:

What is the most memorable thing a motorist has ever shouted at you while on a ride?

Carol: "You look like you could use a beer! Here sweetheart, take a cold one. I'm wore out just lookin’ at ya!"


Eric: I'm going to F*** you in the ear



Peter: Two of us were riding from St Rt 126 up the hill toward Wards Corner. I was in front and all of sudden heard this scream/yelp from my friend Michael as a car slowly rolled by me. Turns out the guy in the passenger seat leaned out the window and pinched Michael in the ass.

Shane: Sidewalk azzzhhhoooolllll!



Butch: Hey sexy!! Complete with wolf whistle.  (The motorist was a male in a 70's vintage Chevy pickup truck)









Kim: 1975ish, east of Louisville on a group ride a pickup comes alongside and a very intoxicated guy yells "You F--King Q---rs” and tossed an open beer can at us! This of course is way before cell phones.  About a mile up the road the truck was being detained by the county boys. We rode by cheering!!  Ah the old days...






Corey: "Nice Butt!"










Dan: "Nice butt!"



Mike: Run forest run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Tim: (I don’t know about) Shouted? I watched a guy vomit from the passenger window of a pickup about 25 feet ahead of me once.


Andrew: I don't know, I can never understand them. The barking dogs make more sense with their comments!


Nick:  How about the 20+ incarnations of some sort of "Go Lance", or the variations on find an F'ing bike trail.









Mary: "Do you need medical help?" (see, i don't clip in so good sometimes...)



David: This lady laid on her horn as she passed me and yelled something out the window. I, for some reason yelled back, "GET OFF THE ROAD!!!"


David S: Very early on a Sunday morning about 18 years ago a pickup pulled up along side of us and (the occupants) started throwing eggs.  Whoever was tossing wasn’t a very good shot, but sure made us wonder whether the kids went without bfast that morning or just drove around throwing eggs before church.

Dave: Three sweaty, shirtless guys squeezed into a small truck...all yelled the typical " F$#$ing Queer ! " They were practically laying on each other half-naked, and Im queer?

Harold: "Nice ass!" Normally this might have been cool, but the scary looking guy with the confederate flag and "git-r-dun" stickers on his rusty old Ford truck slowed way down to say it. Epic yikes!














Cameron: She was actually a pedestrian, but I had a girl in Morrow scream "Hey, penis!" at me once.


Dave (again): Not yelled, but thrown: A FULL bag of Burger king stuff. Dude had literally had just driven out of the drive thru. Yeah, I was tempted to have a mid-ride snack.

James: "Put some saddles on your bikes!" Lil Bjet and I were dancing on the peddles up the steep section of Ibold. I had to laugh.  It did look like we were preventing a velo-enema.

Christopher: "Stay out of my Fucking way," as they whizzed passed my handle bar clipping me with the side mirror.  Sometimes I have heard a few whistles...they are not always bad comments.

Not That Lance: While slowly rolling up to an intersection, a car rolls up in the left lane and squeezes into my lane nearly hitting my bike. The passenger's side window rolls down and one of the two little old women said "You boys aren't supposed to be in the road.  Get on the sidewalk."  Then the window rolled up and the car continued to move to the right. There wasn't a sidewalk for miles.

Mark:  South side of Columbus, "Hey, I really like those flames on your clothes.  That is one badass outfit."  


Peter (again): At the 4-way intersection in Maineville a shirtless guy in a car going the other direction stands through the sunroof and yells, “F$@% You” at the top of his lungs. It is now called the FU intersection.

Marisel: The honks from the SUVs in Prospect Park, Bklyn are more memorable than anywords could ever be!

Kate: "Go Lance Go!!” Funny. "You're fat!!” Not funny



Jason: Imagine the stereotypical adolescent carrying his pants in Price Hill (a rough neighborhood).  Then imagine him saying this to me during hill repeats on my 5th time up Quebec, "You got this."  It still brings a smile to my face.

Facebook Friday! The Best Bike Advice I Ever Received Is…

With a collective millennium of racing and riding experience, The Best Bike Blog Ever asked our Facebook Fans what the best bike advice they ever received was.  What seems elementary now, once was a revelation.  Hopefully one of our fans will help you out on your next ride.  Plus, it's your chance to meet some of the like minded people like you that read The Best Bike Blog EVER*.  To become a FB fan, look for the link box in the right hand column of the blog or click here.  Thanks for reading!

The Best Bit of Bike Advice I Ever Received Is…

Harold
Cutoff jeans and a 50 mile ride?  Dont do it.  Just dont.  When cutoffs were almost “somewhat cool,”  I rode anyway, what a stupid idea that was.







Joe
Glasses outside the straps. 









Tom
Apply suntan lotion first then butt butter.  Never change the order.







Kim
Nobody's your friend in the last 200 meters.









Chris
When you're deep in the pain cave it is pretty likely that everyone around you is too. That bit of advice helps me hang in when the going gets really tough.







Leesa
LOOK at where you WANT to go, NOT where you DON’T want to go.








Kurt
"Smash the Big Ring!!!!!"







Butch
You're usualy better off ignoring advice from the guy you just lapped.









Nick
Keep the rubber side down.









Charley
Get your knees in! Stop cross chaining! Don't run those stop signs unless you’re with me and we are in a break!





Mark
If it's not fun, you're probably doing it wrong.









Rachel
Eat...or you'll bonk! Get off the front!









Jerry
Do not mix embrocation with chamois cream.







Jason
The wise T.F. gave me the obvious (to me now) insight that everybody hurts at the end of the climb...just keep pedalin'.
