I moo. If they look I say "made you look"
But then I ride a lot of miles alone.

I have moo'ed at cows probably far too often. I was riding past a large herd gathered up by the fence and did a couple of my best moo's and then I noticed the rancher in amongst his cattle. He probably thought I had lost my mind.

8-10 feet probably? They sit on the edge of the lake and there's a walking path that skirts it.
This says it all. Not the same lake I had experience with, but there are a couple.

I moo'd today at the cows, also asked them if they "got milk." Radio silence on their part. I also bark at dogs if they get up in my grill.

The first time I mooed at a group of cows one noticed me and tried to run along side me, the others just followed the first cow. Only lasted about 15 feet, but it was so cool that now I must moo every time.
I also sing at the top of my lungs when I'm biking with absolutely no humanity in sight, if I'm not out of breath.

Wow, I thought I might be crazy when I started the thread but now I have 3 pages of fellow MOO-ers

I usually moo at cows and I'm pretty good at it because usually one or more will look up, which is counted it as a 'win.' I will also Baaaa at sheep or goats but don't have nearly as much success. Helps pass the time out on country roads. Very tolerant riding partner. :-)

Stupid thread but no more stupid than most.
This long weekend I have racked up nearly 200 miles, mostly on country lanes on my own. I have had great fun entertaining myself mooing at cows and saying Baa to sheep. sometimes the other way around just to add to the confusion.
Normally I get a nod or a stare, sometimes a reply - it helps the miles go by
Anyone else do this or should I should I admit myself to the nearest asylum?

Incidentally, anyone riding a bike out on the road is presumed to be insane. So you may still want to check yourself into an asylum!
