When I first started cycling in London I'd get this white van signal at me every once in a while. I used to think there must be someone I know in it saying hi. So naive eh!

i started this thread because it was a daily occurrence and i knew it happened to other ladies as well. i don't wear particularly revealing or saucy clothes, i don't bat my eyelashes at men in ven or titter at their disgusting remarks (nb - absolutely no excuse at all for their behaviour, but some people have this awfully shortsighted opinion that women somehow "ask for it" where "it" is any kind of gross remark/behaviour) - i am a bog standard girl in jeans and a jumper waiting at the lights. i just wanted to ride my bike. but my commute was always, always subject to this input.
i've had a lot of time off the bike, but last week i rode from home to the train station for the first time in a few months. i got (i kid you not!) fifty metres and i got a wolf whistle from some builders.
weird observation - it NEVER happens on the brompton. only on traditional looking bikes. maybe the brompton looks dowdy?!

Just now wondering if any ladies on here get much / any remarks / harassment / abuse?
Had this guy the other day properly lurching over a lady on Vauxhall Bridge Rd - awkward.
