Cycling to work this morning over the usual hill with the usual "in such a hurry I'm going to overtake you even though I can't see what's coming" drivers - two of them in quick succession.
The second couldn't quite get passed me though, I refused to stop to let her pass - not sure if that is the done thing or not?? When she stopped behind the car in front there was a bike size space between the cars so I filled it, just to make a point.
Feeling quite irritated,as you do, I cycled on and as I got close to work there were two nursery workers with four little ones out for a stroll and they stopped to point at me on the bike, bless 'em.
Little boy shouts "hiya bike" and I slowed down and gave them a ding of the bell and a "hello" back. Almost made me forget about the idiots.
Coming home there were men working on the bridge, stopping the traffic as it needed to be single file. I stopped and the workmen asked "do you want to cut across to the pavement?"
"I don't cycle on the pavement" I pointed out "Good for you" he said.
