Just been out for a bit of an explore based on the nice free map Stockport council just sent me. I did a bit of a 10 mile loop and found some nice bits like Chadkirk Chapel that I'd never seen before.

Why are people so aggressive though? I was going down one street next to a line of parked cars and a young lad pulled right out on me as I passed - I pointed at his wing mirror (prob shouldn't have) and he shouted "you're not dead, are ya?" to which I replied "nearly!"

Later, cycling down a main road, another youngish lad beeped and swore at me for absolutely no reason - I was just cycling down the road in a good position!

Maybe I need to get a thicker skin but it makes me feel uncomfortable!

Their are a few weird motorists out there. The other day, I was pulling out of the cycle lane so I could get past a parked car, a van (Which was quiet a distance behind me) started to accelerating trying to stop me pulling out, I still managed to get out and past in time though.

Don't worry about them.

you were cycling weren't you I find my skin thinkness varies according to my mood. Mostly I can just ignore them nowadays, but occassionally....

There must of been an outbreak of tourettes this summer, there's been lots of folk heading the other way on foot and car shouting that they're a w@nker.

Someone through a bottle of water at me the other day i caught it in my teeth, opened it with my tongue and downed it. You got to man up, or attach a camera to your helmet like the dweebs do.

Id never wear a helmet cam but if someone followed me riding for one week you would have enough footage for a hollywood blockbuster. People often mistake me for Vin Diesel.

As for caged-up eejits, I find that a Walkman helps to alleviate most people's opinions of me, 'cos I can't hear 'em!
