I haven't had much said to me when I'm on my bike, but then I'm an overweight, middle-aged white woman, so there's not much to say. I was climbing a very challenging hill once, and a young woman in a car encouraged me. Then there was the time I was just riding and some young man, passenger in the car that was passing me, shrieked at the top of his lungs about six feet behind me. I jumped about a foot, but managed to not let it show.

I like to smile and wave at other cyclists, and mostly get a smile and wave back. Sometimes we just trade nods.
