...to make some drivers angry.
A couple of interesting commutes today - snapped a spoke on the way in (non drive side, so replaced that over lunch hour at work) and then had a p* on the way home (fitted my spare tube to find that was holey, so had to go to spare 2).
The last bit of the Manchester leg of my commute ends in Wilmslow Station car park. I entered the car park, and noticed lots of folk leaving the offices at the side of it (they have a give way junction with the car park entrance, the bit of traffic I'm in has priority). I'm watching what they're doing, so when a dozy so and so in a green fiesta pulls out, I'm ready, swerving away and slowing down. I look at the driver, to make sure I've been seen (and check they're actually not going to continue across my path) and she goes bonkers, throwing her hands up and rolling her eyes, as though I needed to give way. Very odd.
