Sometimes get stupid people shouting as they drive past trying to scare me. Keep meaning to take a picture on my phone but never have it in my pocket at the time
I had a guy step into the road in front of me and shout fcuk off the other week. I get abuse when Im out running too. Ive had lit ciggies chucked at me as well as plastic bottles. Its usually some young moron thinking they are hard with their mates. I never let it bother me. They cant be that hard if they abuse you from a moving car.
Whilst you have no control over some of the sad ****s that society produces, you can control how you respond to these situations and keeping calm in difficult circumstances is probably the best thing you can do.
It's a bummer really, we shouldn't have to put up with such shoot.
Pumped fit cyclist....vs......fato in car..... hmmmm....bloody good job most of us are just getting to work/home as fast as we can and training........ very good job most of us are even tempered......
Besides which, the potential for positive social interactions is waaaay higher than the few knuckle draggers out there. I love chatting to other cyclists, cabbies, saying morning/evening to walkers I know by sight, etc.
