Hi all
My girlfriend and I went out for a late summer pootle today, 20-odd miles or so around the Cheshire lanes. We are experienced riders and respectful of other road users. In our short ride today we got verbal abuse and/or close passes and/or beeping horns from 5 separate drivers, including some very unpleasant/personal stuff.
When I think about it we have had this before on a Saturday. Am I missing something here? Do others find this is a worse day to go out than other days? By the end of the ride I was almost expecting to get abused.
Fuming that my girlfriend gets picked on too, usually when they haven't seen she's riding with a bloke
