Bikes and Bozzos

Jul 12, 2006 16:21

So I've been biking to work since moving into the new place; it's great, I come in feeling energized (and drinking less caffeeine in the morning), it takes half as long as the metro (costs less, too), and exercise++.

This week though, I got my first ( Buy a car! taunt. )

I like to kill them with kindness.

"OH THANKS! I'LL GET RIGHT ON THAT" as sarcastically as possible. Or just nod and wave. Or throw up a peace sign. Reacting like they're helping you tends to be hilarious.

Also, rock the hell on. You might consider taking the lane for that section if you don't have enough room; it will force cars to cross the line to pass you, and that tends to be safer than letting them try to smush past you in the same lane.

"Already got one, thanks" would work.

"Only if you pay for the gas" might be fun too.

You know what else works? Toss ferromagnets with messages painted on them.

Large, bumper sticker sized, magnets with sayings like "I am a terrorist," "Convicted sex offender," and "Will brake for beastiality."

"Buy a house closer to your job!"

That'd work except that people drive to get across the street.

Maybe "Lose some weight!" might be appropriate in some situations.
