Ever had an impatient driver behind you leaning on their horn? It's more likely to be a BMW than any other car!

Apparently motorists admit to using their horn "when a cyclist is using incorrect road positioning not riding in the gutter and they have to think about overtaking rather than just squeezing past you with a few inches between your handlebars and the side of the car ."
:huh:

I had what I thought was an impatient driver sounding their horn at me last week...only to discover a bag had fallen off the back of my bike
(I regretted what I'd silently shouted after him)

I find Audi and Bmw drivers to be complete dicks either when on my bike or in the car

Agree BMW and Audi drivers can more often than not be complete tossers, though tbh I have the most problems with volvo drivers hereabouts. Complete menace. Often impatient, arrogant and never indicate I love the one's with the 'baby on board' signs in the window that roar past at ridiculous speeds within inches of your handlebars, or overtake on blind bends - but hey- at least young Jocasta's OK in the back!

Ride a recumbent and you'll be amazed at how many strangers will beep or wave at you. Most are from drivers coming the other way "Lookit that!".

Was out yesterday with the wife, first time on her road bike, we had a w****r in a bentley decided to do a u turn right in front of the wife, if i had been on the comuter bike he would have had pedal marks right down the side of it, mind you he did get a mouthfull, but he did not bat an eye lid,
 
I have lusted after one since I first saw a Windcheetah on the cover of Richard's Bicycle Book! I'm still no nearer. :-(

You could get a Brompton Recumbent
