Is There Something Strange in the Air?

[MacB]

Cycle in to work this morning and I see more roadkill than I've seen in the last few weeks combined. Lost count at 20 critters, some sort of silly season?

Coming home tonight I get abuse shouted at me, not once, but 5 times. Traffic was free flowing and pretty quiet, these were all on clear stretches where I may have delayed the odd car by a couple of seconds. All 5 were young blokes in hot hatch type cars. All I made out was the word c**t twice and 'get off the road self-gratification artist' once. I reckon that nearly doubles the amount of abuse I've received since starting commuting, why today?

For the first one, could it be loads of chicks that have fledged or cubs / pups that have left the den / set / whatever?

For the second, given that all the abuse was from young blokes could it be that they've also been let out on their own for the first time?

Sorry pal, I said to my mates once was enough but they wanted to drive past you another 4 times!

That's because you ride a bike with toy handlebars - motons think you're fair game!

It must be the hotter weather, a lot of folk recently heading the opposite way to me have been shouting profanities and there could be more road kill too .

It's the time of year when there are lots of young animals and birds about. If they survive their first encounter with a car, they learn to be more careful. If they don't survive... you see them mashed on the road.

I could even believe that if I thought you had any mates

I tell you if I get hold of them they will be so sorry, I'll tie them to a chair and force them to read an entire weeks worth of 'puns' from Aperitif. Cruel and unusual, yes, going too far, maybe, but they'd never do it again.
