I don't know what it is like out your way but in California this sort of
reaction is a way of life when on the roads.  Mind you when I ride its the
gals who usually are doing the whistling and yelling things like, "Hey, cute
legs...".  Now, most of the time its all in fun anyway, and I even get these
kind of comments from the gang at work (most comments are from the females
[This isn't quite the Castro District of San Fran]) when I come riding in
with wearing my riding shorts and jersey.  I'm not gonna start worrying until
some big trucker starts whistling at me.  Just ignore em and keep rolling.

Still trying to bridge the gap,
