International send-off messages? "Ride well"?

Yes, BONNE ROUTE goes well here...allows distancing from the ongoing reality of it visavee traffic...kinda seprates positions for a moment, good for perceptual readjustments

HAPPY MOTORING, I forget from whom...Esso Texaco ? closes in..

Rough Seas ! he shouted

well yes, after creeping along the cliff and out there I was looking down at a large fishing boat 1 mile west...

America has some serious fears about bicycling. And it's been pointed out
that in America, when someone sets out on a bicycle, it's common to get
warnings, as in "Be safe!" or "Please be careful!" Sometimes, there's the
extra-specific "Watch out for cars!" as if we didn't notice they were out
there. ;-)

I've read that in France, the customary send off is much more pleasant -
something more like "Ride well!" (Perhaps it's stated as "Bon Voyage"?
I've got no French skills.)

We've got readers here from many countries. What sort of send-off message
do you get as you pedal away? Do you hear warnings, or more pleasant
good-byes?

It might be interesting to see how things are said in your native
language, and the English translation.

"When are you gonna dump that child's toy and buy a car"?

"May your ride be free of tigers"
"Is your cell phone battery charged?"
"If you're not back by sundown, should I report you as missing?"
"What have you forgotten this time?"
"Remember... the sag wagon is cheaper than the ambulance."

In Canada, French would be "Bonne route!" which is also used to send off
motorists; in English, "Have a good ride!" but "Stay safe!" is often heard,
too.

Rarely heard: "Don't kill anybody!".

****! There are cars in America. Who would have thought such a thing. You
made them. Your country grew up with them and sold them all over the
world.

Errr. No warnings. No pleasant goodbyes. Maybe a "See you at the bar
tomorrow night." Despite driving standards being a bit lax around here
(Turkey) there is no panic about riding a bike because we don't live in a
litigious nanny state safety culture. Also, even looking at the price of
second hand cars may make your eyes bleed.

I'll give you English and a Turkish translation.

Yarın barda görüşelim mi? - Shall we meet at the bar tomorrow?
Tamam. Dokuz buçukta orada olacağım. - OK. I'll be there at 9.30.

Hope that's helpful

Cycling used to be seen as something done by the poor or strange but has
in only a very few years seen a massive increase in uptake. Drinking
however remains high.






Which is nice.

Urine Turkey ? WTH are you doing in Turkey ? deported ?

I watched video's of Euro trucking...
