The abuse was shouted as the van came towards us. I was more concerned about the wife than giving a Guardian reader/headmaster tutorial to the horse riders who carried on regardless without a backward glance.
We were on our side of the road. If the obstacle (the huge horsey beasts 2 abreast) were on the other side of the road and the van needed to pass them, then we had right of way.I stand corrected - If BFF was a true gentleman, he would have given way for the girls on the horses , and the trans gender binmen
I take my hat off to you if you would have been "nice" as you and your wife cheat death by a whisker due to the stupidity or even "a half-hearted moment" from a silly girl on a horse.

Can you change your avatar. I have trouble concentrating on the detail in your posts. Thank youI'm voting for Broken Flipflop to get the drama queen of the year award
You should post in the commuter section they have near death experiences every time they cycle to work
Yes. But I wasn't round our way, I was up Rivington altitude and hill training.
). It's nice to have someone to chat to on an otherwise lonely ride home

What amazes me is is the bile and bitterness of some people on here when someone innocently chooses to buy a certain kind of vehicle and then conversely, the very same people accuse a cyclist of "not being nice" when a couple of idiots on horses and a dick in a van try and kill them.

Riding next to an unpredictable beast. You are most brave. The fact that you acknowledge the fact that these beasts could easily be spooked suggests you were already aware they can be dangerous. (BM video = black market ?). I'm glad nothing bad happened to you and your ride home wasn't lonely.On the flip side I have had two pleasant encounters with a lady horse rider this past week whilst commuting home. At approximately the same place on two different evenings I have passed her slowly and chatting so as not to spook the horse (I learnt that from BM videos
Even I wouldn't make a story up about me and my wife almost meeting our demise. The details are completely factual.
It was just an observation really about the people who are so aghast at my opinion relating to the danger that I believe horses are to other road users. The fact that the riders can be kids with little or no road training/awareness, on sometimes unpredictable beasts, insured ? just makes it seem stupid to me. Today's experience wasn't very funny at all.
