On a train, biting my tongue...

[Brandane]

Currently on a Scotrail train. My bike and another 2 occupying the designated bike storage area which is 5 fold down seats (fold down when there are no bikes).
Group of 3 got on train, and despite several available seats, one just had to mouth off about "bloody bikes" taking up spaces.
Now he has moved on to "there should be separate lanes for bikes. Shouldn't be allowed on roads.... Too dangerous....
" etc. etc..
I do hope he heard me loudly muttering to no-one in particular about people talking shite about bikes. Nobber.

Rub the chain against his trouser leg when getting off the train.

Go up, give him a nod and a smile, and say "hello".

Then get out a copy of Cycling Weekly and bury your nose in it.

Every cloud has a silver lining! As a result of his nobbery I got talking to one of the other cyclists who had also heard him. A French lady who lives quite near me, and is about the same age. Hmmmm...
Time to dust off my Michel Thomas "French in 5 easy CD's" course!

An old Raleigh girly thing, which looks as if it might benefit from a bit of tlc.. I have the very spanners for the job!

Try Captain Cat's line from Under Milk Wood, "Parlez-vous jig-a-jig madamoiselle?"

Saw my old French teacher a while back.
She asked what I was doing these days.
I told her that I go to the cinema on Saturdays, and that I play football with my brother on Sundays.
I also pointed out that Mme Marsaud is in the garden, and that the cat is eating the chicken.

 

[Hill Wimp]

I like a man with spanners and bike things to look after my bikes.

@Brandane you've scored
