- Holmfirth.
Absolute blinder this morning..... still chuckling when I got to work.
Main road (30mph), slightly downhill, partial cycle lane full of debris. Im just sat on the outside of the CL, doing 25ish.
Loud blast of a horn and revving noise from just behind, as a fiesta flies past, vague shouts from irate woman wanting me to "get into the bloody cycle lane".
She must have been doing 40 when she passed the speed camera 30yds further on... FLASH, FLASH... oh how I laughed
- But it gets better.
She slowed down and as I pulled level, started screaming that it was my fault and I shouldn't be on the road. I smiled, waved and carried on.
She blasted past me... again doing 40+ and immediately cut in front. Quite how she managed not to see the long tailback of traffic waiting at the lights at the bottom of the road I'm not sure, but she almost stopped in time....
I stopped to give my details to the poor bugger she rear-ended, only to be asked by the maniac harridan "WTF has is got to do with you.... rant...scream...bloody cyclist.....all your fault".
Bloke who got hit simply looked at her and said... "he wasn't the cupid stunt who drove into the back of me... now stfu".
I gave him my name/address and rode the remaining miles into work still chuckling.
