I understand that you may have felt the need to catch up to me when we met at Asda in Kimnel Bay, but that does not permit you to be very close to my rear wheel and nearly rear end me when we both turned right left onto the prom.
You may have thought that you were considerably faster than me, but as you noticed from your frequent shoulder checks, you did not drop me.
Another point is that yes, you may have lushious locks of wavey hair, but that does not replace a helmet.
I suspect you were a first-time cyclist as you had toe straps on your pedals, you were not the most stable of people, and you only had running shorts and top on.
Tips for the future:
I dont mind being drafted, just not that close unless I am with a large group.
You did good at filtering at the traffic lights but you need to hurry up and get to the ASZ before you get caught out, I had to slow down behind you.
You were doing a decent speed (17-18 mph) but try to change your positioning for junctions (you need to indicate and take primary).
On the up note, I was happy to see someone else in shorts on a bit of a cold day, and I would have happily SCR you up to where you seemed to pull in, I do hope I see you so that I could give you some encouragement but I suspect that you are on here as a bike just like your was advertised here recently.
