Verbal abuse from motorists

[numbnuts]

In 2.5 miles today I was verbally abused by three motorists all on an open road from the cars on the opposite side of the road WHY, not too sure if feeling are a wee bit high after the “Charlie Alliston Case”, but I have never experienced this before in my area, I hope this is not going to become a normal thing of the future.

You didn't forget to put your clothes on did you?

No, I got dressed as well before going out too

Much like the aftermath of the Brexit vote, when open racism was encountered, we have the same sort of effect with the “Charlie Alliston Case”

There's a thought

There's a thought

They (nearly) all drive like idiots out there and it's all the same "as you were" so I've noticed no difference.

Were you cycling back from a fancy dress party still wearing your Jimmy Savile outfit?

I think you're the only one who does that

I'm guessing this has been debated on CC. Could someone point me to it please.

No. Type Alliston into the search box, top right of your screen.

I don't think it has.....perhaps you should start a new thread.

Surely it must've? What happened to the Cyclist Down thread?

I can't find it.

You didn't forget to put your clothes on AGAIN did you?

FTFY

I've posted this before, as a recumbent trike rider the reaction of drivers is almost universally positive. But inevitably into each life a little moron must fall. For those occasions I always grin as insanely as I can* then wave far to energetically for far too long as the car/van/prattmobile recedes into the distance.

*Those who know me will tell you, I'm really good at this!

It is in 'Advocacy and Cycling Safety' - have you got that blocked?

The other possibility is that you had had 'Search this thread only' or 'Search this forum only' ticked when you searched.
