Thanks for that!

Cycling along a track this morning, a rather big hole in the road ahead, filled with murky water so unable to see how deep it is. When I say big, I mean really substantial.

Dry patch to the right leaves just enough space to get past, so aim for that.

Cyclist coming from the other direction, so I pull over, resting on the verge. I smile and wave him through first, only to get berated for being on the right hand side of the track.

Yeah, thanks.

Does it matter on a track.... sheesh !!!

He sounds a bit like a Mr.Bean anal-type.
Maybe you should've explained why you moved across, or was it obvious?.

In situations like this I tend to give a big cheery "you're welcome!"

I like for people to keep to the left but that isn't always possible on a track, as described by the OP. I certainly wouldn't berate somebody for it, what a plonker.

I think maybe I'm the one to blame... seem to be having a run of confrontations at the moment. The latest was a young lad who came out of the shop on my road with an ice lolly, and dropped the wrapper on the floor. I asked him to pick it up, which he did... before running and telling his rather large brother just around the corner.

Apparently asking someone to pick up litter makes you a, and I quote, "faggot"
