Top Things Drivers Say to Cyclists

What do drivers say when they encounter bikes?

Here are some of the things I hear when I'm out on the road. Notice that they're not all negative interactions - many times I experience courteous and friendly drivers who go out of the way to give me space. And please take advantage of the chance to add your own favorites in the comments section.

  1. Oops! Sorry!
  2. Get outta the way, Lance!
  3. Oops! Sorry! Didn't see you!
  4. No, you go. . . (as they wave you through a stop first)
  5. Is that really a Trek Madone you're riding? (okay, that's me dreaming)
  6. Oops! Sorry! Didn't mean to cut you off.
  7. %#$%&!!
