ok so today i was riding, this guy in a truck parked in the parking lot yelled to me:

"GET SOME GEARS!"

and then on the top of my mind like a million comebacks just flew right threw and by the time i wanted to say something i had passed him long ago lol

so ive decided to start this thread to find a comeback that i will use only so i wont have to think about it.


i was gonna say "I CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE!!" or "NO!! IM GONNA GRIND IT!!" "ITS TOO COMPLICATED!!"

"MY CHAINS NOT LONG ENOUGH"

what are some comebacks you guys can come up?

"stop making fun of me, i know i'm a hipster!"

according to vice and pitchfork media one is in


not really sure i ignore people when they say i just go back to admiring my frame and sippin' on my PBR

smile and wave back.

That's not really an insult.... if you are apart of ocfixed or lafixed you will see that it's just a thing they typically yell at fellow fixed riders.

Yell "get a car!" back That'll confuse 'em.

lol i know, i didnt take it as an insult. just didnt know what to say hahah

anybody else?

"nice cherrypicker, ***"

...Gears are for queers...

But ignorance is bliss.

Take the quote from IRO... "You only need one!"?

This actually happens to people in your city?

I wish everyone yelled that.

I push people over while they're trackstanding at red lights.

just yell "your mom's a *****"

It's a South Cali fixer shout out

i just get homophobic words yelled at me by drivers, i'd much rather have some bike advice like that man in the truck gave you, whether or not its good advice.

whenever someone does something like that to me i just try to do something impressive, cause after they figure out your a seasoned rider and actually know what your doing they feel like the *******. or you could just be the jerk on the bike blurting out some ****ty "your mom has some gears" joke.

get some gears is a compliment. some people get really insulted and pissed about it though.

"get a penis"

I left them at your mom's house!

I'm too busy making my Zoolander facial expression of leetness to bother responding.

But if I had to, it would be with a headbob of manliness followed up with

"I'm not just the president of the Gearless Club for men, I'm also a member."

Then I'd make the pout lips again for effect.

what do you mean? how were u sure i was in "my city"?

i was leaving disneyland actually lol

Obama's going to hunt you down redneck

Damn, someone *noticed*? I'd be flattered. Usually people are too busy being affronted that something other than a car is in the road to notice what it *is*, beside a non-car.

Though in all fairness, today some guys with BMXs were yelling 'Fixie! Fixie!' at me and I didn't know whether to lose my temper or not.
