Funny and interesting comments from non-riders

[swiftee]

Sometimes my non-rider friends/colleagues ask me about bikes, the results are quite interesting sometimes.

 

e.g.

Colleague: (when talking about increase in petrol prices) But it shouldn't really affect you, right? (turning to me)

Me: Huh?

Colleague: Bikes run on diesel right?

Me: Erm no they run on petrol same as the cars.

Colleague: Hahaha is raining looks like you can't go home.

Me: I can go home, just see whether i want to or not.

Colleague: How are you going to go home?

Me: Wear raincoat lor.

Colleague: (upon being told of expensive bike) I thought all bikes are very cheap 1...

Me:

 

alternatively...

 

Colleague: how much did you buy your bike for?

Me: around 3k

Colleague: Wa so cheap ah... i thought bikes were more expensive

 

---

 

Colleague: (upon being told my bike is 200cc) Wow, isn't that a big bike?

Me: No la actually its a small little bike.

Colleague: But that is quite big already isn't it?

Me: No la, big cc will be something like 1300cc

Colleague: That's as much as a car!

 

---

 

Colleague: wow u ride a bike! it must be very difficult!

Me: No la most people who can ride a bicycle should be able learn how to ride a motorcycle

but this is so true. riding is dangerous. so everyone pls ride safe!

[GuiNNeSS]

Isnt it very dangerous to ride bike and listening to your mp3? You cannot hear the cars horning you.

 

As if people in their cars blasting their sound system can hear cars horn them too.

[GuiNNeSS]

From a auntie to mummy: "Wah, that day I saw your daughter ride bike out from a carpark.......she is a lesbian right?"

[GuiNNeSS]

Someone: "I last time also took bike lessons, but I fell one time, and then scared liao, so I gave up."

 

Me: "Un huh....." (Tell me for what? I dont issue licences and I cant possibly want to know how scared you were, or why you cannot finish what you started.)
