Random, Yet Amusing Things

That people have said to you while you were riding your bike.

Most of the comments I've gotten, have been replies from pedestrians when I rang my bell to alert them of my approach from behind them.

I had a retired railroader complement me on "continuosly sounding my bell as I passed him." For the record, in Canada, trains or engines moving in a rail yard, or any location where people are on the ground in proximity to active tracks, are required to sound the bell when moving".

"You're not an ice cream truck. I'll sue for deceptive advertising." (This one was pretty common, actually) His wife was less than impressed.

Yesterday evening, while out for a ride (to see if I needed to change the batteries in my LED headlights (I really needed to change them. nice and bright now), I encountered the local run club. I rang my bell and they called out BIKE!!! As I passed them, some of the runner burst out in song, namely: I Want To Ride My Bike" (I think that's the title), while others in the group complemented me on my lights.

What have people said to you?
