I can't say for sure, but from the grumbling-like noises I heard, it sure sounded like I really annoyed them!
I do that too! I won't concede any jerk the satifaction of ruining my ride. Any rude honking gets an enthusiastic *wooohooo*,wild waving, and a big grin. Also, it helps mask the heart thumping shock of being honked at.

I'll give that a try next time. It's better than getting mad at them!

think of them as your own personal "fan club"! Originally Posted by Curvygirl

take it as a compliment
if you think back to when you were young, boys teased girls because they had no idea that talking to them like a normal human being would yield more results. some men still have no idea, and so yell things, tease, act idiotic etc all in an effort to impress a girl. Dumb, but unfortunately true.
It's like when a male rider can't handle being beaten or passed by a girl on a bike.... it bruises their fragile ego.
Adopt that cheesy grin and a big wave, or simply ignore them. If you find yourself being affected by their behaviour, ask yourself if you actually care about these people / value their opinion. Your answer's likely to be 'No', in which case you realise it's easier to let the unpleasantness pass and get on with enjoying your ride.
