Today a young 'un in a lowered corsa wearing a baseball cap and an adidas top did this....

The last part of a lot of my rides takes me on a road with loads of islands dotted along it, it narrows then widens, then there is a few mini roundabouts all alongside the ubiquitous retail park al la mcdonalds and kfc.

So you see the potential for fast food fuelled driver f*ckwittage is massive...

Unfortunately I was the feckwit today, misjudged the distance and cycled out onto the roundabout instead of giving way to the lowered corsa with wire wheels and two young uns in baseball caps in the front. I did wave a sorry to them...

Turned the camera on record, started looking for driveways to dive into and waited for the inevitable beeping, abuse and or prison style shanking.



They slowed, kept a reasonable distance, returned my wave and waited really politely until it was safe to overtake...

I'm ashamed of my rampant stereotyping as well as my sh1t cycling today its like I read the Daily Mail or something.

Good on you for admitting you made a mistake. I generally find that if I make a mistake ( as we all do from time to time ) be it on a bike or in the car a simple sorry and wave of the hand usually diffuse's the situation.

I think he should be allowed a little self-stereotyping if he wants to...

It's a horrible and derogatory term.

All changed, no offence meant.

The "Corsa" word is still there, have a word.

Ironic, given your username.

But yes, it's always nice when people exceed our expectations.

Gypsy family heritage and my nickname from agricultural college based upon that from when the irish farming students found out.
