1st sorry for a rant just need to say it
Not long since back from an evening ride and boy what a ride only just turned off my street and they started 4 in a row of car passing too close. One a passing mini I did think had taken it upon themselves to be a support car and I was about to handed the milkshake the passenger holding from the open window. After about 5 minutes into the ride I lost count.
About 1/2 home I was almost taken out my a passing HGV inches away from my side. Moments before a boy racer gave me so much room at high speed he missed hitting a traffic island by mm.
About a 1/4 of way home coming down a steep hill within full view of me coming down it a van pulled out on me from a pub carpark within feet of me almost making me hit him side on. Only for him within a few feet of turning into rd with no warning just stopped in the middle of rd to allow a car to pull out. This time I almost ended up in the back of him.
Every other car tonight looked to be in a rush speed no problem. I did wonder if war had just been declared and i'd missing the news.
Why all the knobs came out tonight I don't know.
Well rant over sorry guy I just need to say it.
On a plus the 4 fellow cyclist I spotted all said hey as the past so that was good.
But you know after yesterday and my longest to date I did think best rest up and was really not up for a ride but i'm so glad because even the knobs in tin box's did not stop the fun.
