Is that what it is on the roads? Seems like a war out there at the moment.
Not sure if its because i havent been on the road for a while or what, but im being passed close, having abuse shouted at me, people sitting right on my back wheel, horns honked.
Whats wrong with people :roll:
I was very close to losing my temper today, but fortunately the scared look on the drivers face after i had given his car a good thump as i went past was enough. He had passed me close, opened up his window before so he could shout abuse at me.
Dont think he was expecting me to catch him up, like many others.
Whats wrong with these people, ive got a home to go to, family. Why come past close and risk knocking people off? Do they have the courage to explain to the cyclists loved ones when they knock them off why they did what they did? I doubt it, most want to just power straight off and go hide.
But then after having been driven at, abuse shouted at me, spat at, someone actually follow me so they could get out the car and try and take me down, sweets and stones thrown, cut up, being the blame of most things, a car sit right up behind revving engine, a lorry behind at trafic lights edging closer for a laugh, someone pass me to slam on their brakes before driving off.
But then i am a cyclist, im obviously just a target and some fun to try and get for some others. :roll:
Makes me want to just sell my stuff and give up.
Someone i know was hit on a round about by a driver not paying attention and thought he could go and get through. He couldnt and wiped out the person i know that was on his bike.
But then who cares anymore?
Rant over
