I've got a couple of things I find myself saying regularly with regard to commuting, or cycling in general, and I'm wondering if anyone else had some little witticisms of their own.

When asked, "Are you really riding in this?" when getting set to leave work in rain or cold or cold rain or blistering heat I'll often say, "Weather doesn't tell me if I ride or not; it just tells me what to wear when I do."

And of course on hills I'm fond of the classic, "That's enough out of you, legs. Shut up and pedal."

I also make a point to give a wave, nod, or both to almost every motorist who decides to wait an extra few seconds instead of stomping the gas to make their turn ahead of me because I do appreciate it. And I always think as I wave, "Thanks for not being a dick."

What about you?
