Bingo.
I ignore these people most of the time, but sometimes I just like to let loose.
Once this summer, some guy passed me and said something about my jersey. It's a mountain bike team jersey! Double poser points for me. So anyway, when he passes I say something along the lines of "Suck my #$%@ @# $%@# @#$%@#$5 B*** #$% @#$%," and then chase him down and ride up right next to him. I'm so close and he gets real nervous from all the yelling that he starts to shake and then drop back. AAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH! He didn't pass me after that even though I was still riding slow as hell.
