Bizarrest anti cycling rant yet - where is my rear view mirror?

[ufkacbln]

It was three of them, taking all the width of the path.
Only one complained about me being there.

There is something called the "Shoulder Theory"

Shoulders are like magnets but only repel

This is why a single person is forced to walk don the centre of a path as the shoulders repel from the sides of a path

Two people or more and the shoulders repel not only from the sides, but each other causing a perfect distribution across the path

How does one person walk three abreast?

Did anyone else think "Total Recall"?

 

[mjr]

Racist.

Italian isn't a race. It's xenophobic.</pedant>

 

[Drago]

Although discrimination because of one's nationality or national origin would be classed as racism for the purposes of criminal law [/Pedantpedant]

There are plenty of vehicles on the road that dont have a rear view mirror. Little point if you don't have a back window.

I seem to recall having to learn hand signals when learning to drive.

Wow! You must have a good memory, I can't remember that far back.

I can remember it like it was yesterday,

I pity you for having to work with such a brainless and thoughtless twonk.

I had a weird 'middle of nowhere' anti-cyclist altercation a couple of weeks ago. Along a B road in Northumberland, one I cycle regularly, and know well.
I hadn't seen a vehicle or cycle for 10 minutes or so, at this point, and the nearest inhabited house is 5 miles away.
I was cycling just left of the centre of the road, as the left-hand side of the road at that point is badly rutted, bumpy and potholed.
I heard a motorbike behind me, some way away (it took 20 seconds or so for him to reach me) and as I heard it, I moved left, into the bumpy bits. So, when he reached me, rather than simply go past, he slowed right down, pulled his visor up, and ranted "How much of the bl00dy road do you want?". I was about to explain about the uneven road, and lack of traffic, when he simply said "F**king cyclists", flipped his visor down, and rode off.
Strange man. I flicked him a v-sign, and went back to enjoying my ride.

I don't know who the guy in the pic is??

 

[jefmcg]

Speaking of motorcycles, does the colleague think they are breaking the law by not wearing seatbelts? Indeed, as motorcyclists have to wear helmets, how does she reconcile that drivers and passengers don't?

 

[Drago]

I'd have had them transferred to the rural crime team to specialise in mid farmers field wet weather traffic directing.

It's either David Ginola, or Kenny Rogers, I reckon.

I'm better at the mystery sportsperson bit on Question of Sport, to be honest.
