I am sat on the train and was promoting the big bike bash to the bloke on the seat across the aisle. I gave him a BBB flyer and the woman sat facing me gave a disproving sigh/snort noise. For fun I asked if she wanted a flyer.

She replied "do I look like a cyclist?"

I replied "not really but cycling is really good when you need to shed a few pounds"

Bloke still holding the flyer nearly pissed himself.

I am now staring at my phone intently trying to avoid making eye contact with the woman sat less than two feet away.

Disapproving sigh/snort?! Why, if you were just talking to someone about something you enjoy. Sounds like she got what she deserved, well done.

Give her a flyer as you leave the train; "It really does help with weight loss".

"This could be you if you don't come to the BBB"

With the old slam door trains then you could have ejected her from the train fairly easily. Not so easy with the push button doors unfortunately.

I am still trying to keep a straight face and pretend it was a well meant comment. She is now reading her magazine and keeps staring at me.
Thankfully I get off next stop.

She followed me off the train but I can limp faster than she waddled so I could escape in a taxi.
Tried to get a photo but it is blurred where I was hobbling too quickly

Keep winking at her, raising your eyebrows, and doing that mouth thing that I have no idea how to describe. That should get her to ignore you, or move seat.

If it all goes pear shaped and she fancies you as a result, say "Do I look like a porky poker?"

Given the reach that STW commands, I'm a touch surprised no-one is reporting their mum / wife / sister has sent them a huffy text about being on the train and getting insulted by a random bloke with a limp ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm curious to know what a cyclist looks like? She clearly thinks they are easily identifiable. I'm pretty sure I don't look like everyone else on this forum.

Oh and excellent put down ๐Ÿ™‚

Wasn't meant as a put down, it was kind advice in my head but when it left my mouth it was less kind, unfortunately like the dunked text or email I couldn't un-say it.

Glad it amused you lot though

Are you not in the New Forest?

There's another recruit for the local fatwa ๐Ÿ˜› against cyclists!

She'll have stopped off at Homebase on the way home for a pitchfork and some carpet tacks. And chips from the van in the car park.

In fact, I think I may have scraped classier things from the sole of my shoe.

Very nice. I don't think you need to feel bad - Her snort of derision clearly cut the moral dividing line.

You could have followed it up by waiting for the snack cart to come by, and when she was asked if she wanted anything by the attendant looked at her and gave her a disproving sigh/snort noise.
