A bizarre incident on Saturday

[Sheffield_Tiger]

Sat waiting at traffic lights (on the upright, nopt the bent), car in front puts car into reverse and shunts back into me ( a deliberate reverse, slow and far enoguh distance for me to get mostly out of the way, and not to be just a wrong gear selection), I hop to the side so his bumper just shoves my rear pannier bag.

I shout, he stops, I go around him and sit in front in primary, as there is obviously a reason for him reversing and he wants to go back/turn around/not go through the junction, right?

Lights change, I go, so does he following behind

"What WAS all that about?" - rigid look straight ahead, ignore cyclist pretend he's not there

As one of Paul Whitehouse' characters might say - "how queer"

I would have contacted the police immediately. He was using his car as a deadly weapon!

Should have smacked the boot really hard with your fist as they reversed. Glad he didn't hit you.

Just one of life's self-gratification artists....

urinating on the boot handle is where its at

I don't think it was that .. not fast enough for a "ram" and there had been absolutely no interaction (not even passing) previously to spark an altercation

It just seemed completely random

Report it to the Police!

I've tried peeing while sat on the saddle (too lazy to get off the bike), it seems to be physically impossible!

no, not tried it myself, but its common practice in such as Ironman races. Unfortunately there are some that get into the run stage and unwillingly take it to the next level (best not to be running downwind of them)

Where will we be after 28 pages??

maybe its a geometry thing, supposedly its designed so you can't wee if you have a proper stiffy because the willy tube lines up with the balls tube not the bladder tube.....

You're the only one talking about poo!

Couldn't if I wanted to, didn't get the number

It was nothing massive - just an example of bizarre driving

This thread is getting more bizarre than the driving however....

Fully opening the rear kerbside door is better, especially if it is a single occupant.

They then have to stop, get out, walk round, close the door and return, get back in before they can drive off
