If someone said it to me, I would probably at least smile back. Granted, I don't like getting taunted or yelled at while I ride my bike, but I thought i was being funny enough and showing enough knowledge of bicycles for her to realize I wasn't being mean. The other thought that crossed my mind was she thought I was being an ******* male trying to show off, which I wasn't.
