Goodness me - had a nice cycle around the lanes - coming back on the left side of the lane this daft woman heading into my direction does not move over - There were a couple of teenagers coming the other direction also correctly using their left of the lane so I could not move to the right - she had to just move a foot over as she was pretty much in the middle. How we did not collide I’ve no idea rather non socially distant, but I did use my bell to warn and I was slow - I’m a middle aged fat bloke on an old bike after all. She had the cheek to say arsehole! I mean if an insult is due make it a good one..... I did turnaround and challenge her for her lack of road sense - apparently she could telepathically see the teenagers from behind her and was still shouting and yelling in front of the bemused teenagers. I need a cycle ride to cool off from my cool off ride!

Bike rage....

I think that if the pedestrian is already on the street it's common fault / mostly yours. I'd make sure that my bike is in working order & always be alert.
I think that if you hit a pedestrian and you did not attempt to stop, it could be worse also.
Bikes are not what people are tempted to think.

Wouldn't wish to tar all cyclists with the same brush but the Sunday morning pelotons that I encounter on the roads around here are absolute pests.Comment
