- On my bike in the smoke!!!!!!!!!!
Had a great day cycling yesterday, the day was slightly marred by one incident at the end though.
I got off the train at Liverpool st and started cycling South towards Crystal Palace, I was soon in a group of about 12 cyclists heading over London bridge, only one womanin the group at the time, she was either in a great hurry or she just wanted to be in front, I had almost done 50 miles by then so was getting a little tired, I was'nt in the mood for racing so just let everyone go in front.
I was quite surprised therefore when I caught the woman on the bike up again it must have just been the way the lights changed. So I duely just fell in behind her and a few others, the traffic became quite chaotic and the group of cyclists I was in started weaving in and out and this is when I cut the afore mentioned woman up by coming from between two cars and in to her path I just saw her in the corner of my eye and ordinarily would have apologised, however she shouted at me "well f*****g look then"! I said to her I did'nt expect to be sworn at!
I then said well I expect abuse from car drivers but not other cyclists!
She then shouted "what, am I not fast enough for you on my heavy mountain bike"
Know I could take that either way, either she is trying to point out that she was the fastest biker in the group ! Or she thinks I am annoyed with her because I am a male chauvinist pig and she was the fastest rider in the group!
She then came up on the inside of me and was saying something like, your annoyed cos I am faster than you! I had to signal to go left up the cycle path forcing her to drop back! she then said I did that on purpose as well!!
I can't win, and quite frankly I hope I never see that one again
