Unsolicited advice from a motorist

[Twenty Inch]

Cycling back from work through sarf Lunnun the other day, I was passed by a BIG silver Merc with “Seek first the LORD and put your faith in HIM” in six inch letters on the rear window. “And then put your faith in a big silver Merc” I thought to myself, as I passed him at the zebra crossing.

A few metres later, I heard a garbled yell from the window of the Merc as it came alongside –“Yaddle twy”, or something similar. It didn’t sound aggressive, so I caught up and said “What was that?” “Ya saddle too high. Ya hips is ROOOOLLLin!” was the response. “Really? Just put the bike together, very likely”. “Ah ride for DeVer cycles ya know – ya need to drap ya saddle” and off he sped.

And he was right – put it down by half an inch and it was much more comfortable.

Thank you, Mr. Merc driver.

LOL, now that's quality!

Should you be uncomfortable about another man studying your arse so much as to be passing comment on it?

More to the point, should he be doing this whilst driving??

Quality story though!!

Not what I expected when I clicked on this thread!

You doom and gloom monger, you, Magnatom!!




I thought it would be different too... morbid curiosity got the better of me it seems!

Which only confirms that some, if not most, car drivers either are or have been cyclists at some time and are not out to make trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Ah ride for DeVer cycles ya know – ya need to drap ya saddle”

So he was Irish, right?

Could have been I guess.

DeVer is the only team I've seen with riders that have dreads under their helmets! It looks so cool!!

Now we only need him to see the light re his RLJing "for safety".
