I did another 40 laps (26.6 miles)around my local park this afternoon. I know it's safer than cycling on main roads and it's only a 3rd of a mile from home so no hassle getting home if i have a mechanical mishap,but i don't half have to deal with some idiots while up there! One bloke on a bso insisted on interacting me with me every time i passed him. He was wobbling all over the place which was annoying as he was on the left of the road,then the right,then back on the left and he kept saying "o reyt" to me. I grumpily replied 'hello' once and that to me was enough,but he obviously wanted me to say 'o reyt' back to him in a over emphasised Lancashire accent every time we passed,which i refused to do. Then i had the idiot who lets his horrible pug dogs run at cyclists then he shouts stuff like "what have i told you about running after bikes you idiots" You're the bloody idiot i thought,as he doesn't have them on leads. At one point i unclipped my left foot ready to shoe the gits if they got too close and paused a serious threat to my stability. I'm sure he lets them run riot hoping for a confrontation, as he glares at you as you pass.Then there was the idiot who was launching big sticks up into the trees trying to knock the conkers down. The self-gratification artist kept on launching the sticks even while i was passing at the time. You'd have thought he'd have waited till i passed. Not only that but he was about 40 years old! 'conkering' at 40 years of age,how immature is that?! So yes,it's a nice park and you're away from heavy traffic,but you don't half encounter some idiots while riding around it!
