Brief but pleasant chat with a....car driver !

[fossyant]

Well that was a turn up for the books.

Waiting in turn to go round a mini roundabout (Edgeley Road near Morrisons Cheadle Heath for locals), a MR2 edges up by the side of me (plenty of room). Me thinks - here we go......

Friendly pharp pharp on the horn. I turn to look, and the guy has his window down, leans across and shouts.....

"MAGICSHINE !"

I say "Yeh, bright aren't they", he responds, "FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC" with a big grin and gives some thumbs.

Traffic now clears, I cross roundabout and he follows - he passes a little further on, and a notice a bike rack on the back of the little MR2 !

Yey !

Excellent

Reminds me of the time when I was locking my bike up outside the shops, on the way back from work. Car driver gets out of his car and runs over to me....

I had the same thought: Here we go...

But no, he came over to thank me for being lit up like a christmas tree

I have fun chats with drivers all the time, but then I'm not English, I'm friendly like.

Was your cock glowing in the dark?

And you ride a UFO. Only need a grey skin suit and you'd be sorted.

and if we all had CC stickers on our cars/bikes we'd know the cycle friendly folk at a glance even without bike racks

I once had a taxi driver start trying to talk to me at a red light, thought the worst obviously, but no, he was just really interested in the butterfly handlebars on my German hybrid!

I've had a taxi driver wind down his window and thank me for having lights and high-vis. (I have a suspicion that's he'd had a run-in with a less-visible cyclist, just from the way he said it.)

People with CC stickers on their bikes? Prude.
