Riding bike down the street?

Question

Does it ever bother you when you're riding your bike down the street and people shout things at you, whether they be vulgar or just plain inappropriate? Do you feel self-conscious riding down the street for the world to see you?

Answer 1

I ignore them. A few weeks ago a redneck in a pickup truck rode by and stuck his hand out the window with the middle finger raised. I just assumed he was indicating his IQ.

HTH

Answer 2

No and I prefer riding pavements, too many of my friends murdered or injured by arrogant asses in cars. I pay my taxes and am entitled to put my bike where I want, I respect pedestrians and even try with cars. Car caused me to fall of bike on Friday didn't even stop! I hope petrol reaches such a level everyone will be forced onto 2 wheels.

Answer 3

Well , bicycle riders have rights as motorists . There may be reason why they shout at you .  Anyway , try to ride safe and remember that you are not protected against injuries like those vulgar drivers in cars and trucks . Better to be safe then sorry . Any cyclists soon or later will see vulgar idiots behind steering wheel . Ignore them but watch them because they do sometimes display improper behavior . My self - I do feel self-conscious riding down the street .
