Normally my rides to work are uneventful with nothing that interesting happening....
But this morning was a bit different. Most of my journey is done on cycle paths but there is a couple of quiet estate roads which I bike on and this morning I was happily doing 20+mph on one of these when, there was a car parked on the other side of the road, so a blue van had to slow down a little to wait for room to over take; this must have upset him for some reason he beeped me. So as I has in a tiered grumpy mood I waved my hand in a what’s your problem jester, which must of upset him more as when he had room to over take me he decided to swerve right in front of me in a I’ll knock you off your bike type of move, so I jestered to him in a more un-polite manner, this then upset him even more so he slowed right down to a barely moving pace so I proceeded to over take him. He then decided it would be good to push me over the other side of the road as he served towards me. At this point I was not happy as he had tried to run me of the road twice so I banged on the side of his van. This pushed him right over the edge as he accelerated way going the wrong way round a mini roundabout to block my way. He then got out of his van and started running after me telling me that if he see’s me again he is going to kill me!!
So might have to find a new route to bike for the next few days.
