Nice! I think I'm going to use the "cool story bro" slow clap from now on :D

I see a lot of hairy man-titty in angry motorists future.

Tossing a cat.. that's my favorite one.

i usually just smile, wave and say hi like i know them- they usually get pretty confused.

dot org.

moobs for teh win

I will be using the "tail light is out" and getting a song stuck in their head from now...

"love me, love me...say that you love me
fool me, fool me. go.on. and fool me."

Oh come on, "This is the song that never ends
yes, it goes on and on my friends,
some people started singing it not know what it was
but they'll continue singing it forever just because
this is the song that never ends..."

You don't **** with me or I'll get the lambchop song stuck in your head forever

that or moobs ftmfw

sqrl moobs ftw

I like the slow clap. Many red light racers get it

tossing a cat.. That's my favorite one.

not queso!

I tend to do the smile and wave. It's like mental judo.

It's probably a good thing that they are generally going too fast for me to yell anything they'd be able to hear and understand.

Lawlz!

moobs or GTFO

There's a small flaw in the 10th panel - a lot of people don't think whether forced or not.

yeah thats the problem, thinking, it is a quality that comes very unnaturally to certain sections of the motoring community... namely new drivers, most women, taxi drivers, bus drivers, old people etc

i find the friendly wave back with a smile on your face (especially as you pass them in traffic ;) ) to be the best option

I'm not even just talking about the "motoring community". I'm talking about humans in general.

There have been times when I've flown off the handle in the past but I try my hardest just to ignore people these days. Yell and honk at me all you want. What's that? Get on the sidewalk? Yeah, yeah...whatever you say.

Riding a bike is something I find too enjoyable to be pissed all the time while I'm doing it.

Sexist and ageist...

Glad to see this thread. On my ride home last night, a drunk passenger yelled, "Hey f***hole, get a car, you p***y."

All I could think was that he's a coward and bigger wimp than me. It was 25F and raining. He took shelter in a car. I took on mother nature.

Where is the "throw your water bottle" panel?

I wave at people all the time! haha this is cool!

...turn up your iPod.

don't ride with ipod turned up too high, need to hear road noise

don't ride with ipod turned up too high, need to hear road noise

Drop in, tune out, bro.

I think it's funny when people think I don't have a car... I just give them a thumbs up and wink, get them all flustered... My car is usually a lot nicer.

I enjoy being called a ***** for riding my bike. It reminds me that the motorist who says it is driving what is essentially a $20,000 wheelchair.

I have to show this to my girlfriend, she has bike rage.

Turn on, tune in, drop out, bro.

Fixed it. Respect the revolution.

Throwing a soda? OR is it more sinister such as acid? :rolleyes:

I think it was a strawberry milkshake. Honestly, I doubt I would waste the milkshake.

piss bottle

They're called trucker bombs where I'm from. Especially if you're a trucker and have a gallon jug of it.

Omfg sarcastic slow clap ftw.

Smile and wave is my favorite. I was once riding with my friend who is a short, blonde girl, and some angry guy yelled at us to get off the road. My friend promptly straightened up, waved energetically, and yelled "Hi!" at the top of her voice. She was so cheery that it was impossible not to laugh.

sup grl, she into sqrls?

@squirrelli haha. good one.

def did the call me thing tonight after i read this thread earlier. the call me one seemed like it would throw people off the most. tonight this guy was behind me when i took control of the left lane to pass 15+ cars in the right lane approaching a red light.. a red light!! he honked, i turned around didnt break cadence and was travelling downhill round 15mph and did the call me sign with my hand and mouthed it and with a head nod I split the lanes passed about 5 more cars ahead of him when approaching the light. i was able to scoot through the light and he then passed me right after coming through the intersection and honked again!!

dude I haven't got the viking reference in years man brings back the good old times
can't wait to be back state side Denver is in for some fun

How about a ride-by keying ?

I was riding at night on campus in a 25 mph boulevard with 2 lanes on each side. I had front and back lights and was probably doing 15mph in the right lane. There were no other cars on the road except one, which decided to drive right behind me for a minute or two and eventually honked at me. Perplexed, I looked back and motioned that he should obviously pass me in the left lane which he then did. Still no idea why...

Other than that I've never been honked at while on MSU campus or the surrounding area. People are really accepting of cyclists on the roads there

Where's the panel for, "Smack your D-lock through the side window"...?


I know a person who has done this. Was clipped by a car pulling out of a parking lot (driver just pulled out, no yield, just went). Biker was clipped hard enough to fall but not hard enough to do any damage to him or his bike. Driver kept going like it was no big deal. Biker jumped back on his bike and followed the car a couple blocks until they hit a red light. He grabbed his lock and smashed out the side window then road away...

Yum u lock justice! :D
