you should have just turned on the man love Threaded, then he'd have run a mile, or if your luck really was in he'd have..... <shudder>

That's what Stephen Fry suggested to deal with bullies. "Please don't hit me, I'll only get an erection".

My ex, once had a bloke run up to her car as she was driving over a bridge, starting kicking the drivers door in, then just turned round and ran and jumped off the bridge commiting suicide, some ill people out there these days.

come on, she wasn't that ugly was she

Risky

Don't you think it's risking life and limb going on a bike with or without having to stop for a fight.
I'd use a nice 4wd to cope with the weather and roads in Scandinavia.

He must have been really pi55ed to miss a target that big.

Absolutely.

You could really smell the drink.

Shows how easy a car is to drive. Maybe too easy.

True, I am exceedingly fit, and contary to popular notions it ain't fat, it's muscle. I am also ex needing-'em-not-feeding-'em army. Always worry that in such situation the switch might flip back on. So I am quite concerned I would do significant damage before I realised.

Hence, the use of l33t cycling skillz to avoid the confrontation is the best solution I feel.

My father was the same, ex officer, amateur boxer and weight lifter. I recall his 'advice' to me on dealing with people in violent situations and that was that one should be very careful because people are so fragile. Eek. His ‘army talk’ was something to behold and extremely effective too, turning people all sorts of colours. Never seen anything else like it.

Hmm, think you're on to something there. If claret looks imminent, then that would be a fantastic insult to ensure he throws the first punch.

Very interesting Mr threadedd.

If you listen to cyclists here you would think that every driver in Britain is a psycho out to kill you and Europe is a panacea of car and bicycle integration and harmony.

Apparently not.

I'd rather take my chances on the open road than the cyclepaths in Denmark. The cyclepaths give way too much of a sense of safety that is really not there.

I've only ever seen cyclists rear ended by a car when they've been on a cyclepath, for example.

It was dark. He is a drunk. You are a fit cyclist. Hmm.

Why didn't you knock his light out and nick his car too? I woudn't condone such things of course.

No, that wasn't what he was shouting.
