She tried to explain to the first three or four, but it got tedious. Next guy who came by did a double take, rode along next to her for awhile, then said, "Did you know your seat's too low?"
She looked him up and down and said, "Did you know your pants are too tight?"

*Arrogant Roadie Pr!ck, the kind of riders you see (around here, anyway) in full team outfit, riding in a pack, three abreast, holding up cars, passing slower bikes close enough to brush shoulders as they go by. We've got dozens of them.
.... and doing double-takes then laughing at upright riders on hybrids.
