I've never had a "tree trunk legs"-like comment, but my personal favorite happened on the Houston to Austin MS150. I had just come down a hill and was cruising along a flat when I passed a heavy set middle aged man. He turned to me and said, "I just don't understand how a little girl on a *seafoam green* Bi-AN-chi could be passing me."
While I wanted to tell him that it was celeste, thank you, and it might have something to do with riding on a regular basis, I just said, "Well, it's a pretty fast bike," and then I left him in the dust.
