Scowled at by cyclist

[Justinslow]

Were you driving a cheap car? I often scowl at people driving anything cheaper than £40K.

You're not Ronnie Osullivan are you?

 

[Justinslow]

Don't understand why you would be revving the engine

Slipping the clutch trying not to stall or stop completely?

Give me a break!

Needs driving lessons. You do not slip the clutch unless you are pulling away from a standstill.

 

[Justinslow]

Give me a break!

Boom!

 

[Markymark]

Boom!

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week at the end of the pier comedy spectacular.

Ok so up hill slowly,
Clutch in, stop, brake, handbrake on, in neutral. Or stall.
Let the rider go on a bit further,
Repeat above in reverse order etc etc etc untill it's safe to pass or the rider speeds up going down the other side of the hill.
Or slip the clutch a bit and hold it on the brakes or the biting point.
It's just what some people choose to do.

And pull away from a hill start with errrr.......loads of revs. (For some people)

Obviously I am not having a discussion with a driver.

Failing all that maybe it's a v8 or a v12 and they just like to hear it, I know I would.

I try and give a thank you wave/nod/smile whenever I can. It's the polite and friendly thing to do and hopefully encourages more considerate driving.

+1

I always give a little wave of thanks should a car, bus or lorry give me time/space. It is normally reciprocated with a return wave.

I do like to scowl though if the situation demands!!

Once set off, on a flat, most cars will keep themselves rolling along in 1st gear with no throttle or clutch.

Going up a hill, you should easily be able to do 5mph up a hill without the clutch. I'd be surprised if the cyclist was going that slow.

Plenty of hills around here where 5mph would be gunning it. Especially on a MTB.

A lad at school scowled at me once. I think it was at me, but he had a squint, so I might be wrong.
I've never truly got over it.

Are you sure you weren't looking in a mirror and the wind changed?

Sounds like perfect opportunity for an engine
