Well, just got in from a cycle along the canal with my kiddies. Went along from Three Locks pub and into Leighton Buzzard. Dad and 2 older kids way ahead and me and 6yrold Custard way back. All of a sudden I hear some idiot going really,really fast behind me, closer he get's he's still not brought his speed down, tried getting Custard to stay in but this guy just came racing past, shoot the life out of him but luckily he didn't panic and end up crashing into him. Not once did the idiot even tell us he was coming by horn, voice and did not slow his approach. This was on a flippin narrow towpath.
I was livid and I did have a rant at him saying 'where's you bloody manners/etiquette' and that 'it's people like you who give cyclists a bad name' There would have been an awful lot of swearing had I not had the little man with me. I have never experienced this from any cyclist before now, all have shown etiquette/respect for others using the path and vice versa. I was just horrified that it could have been quite a nasty collision with such a young child had he not have kept his calm and stayed exactly put when I am telling him to keep in, but was so narrow anyway, as the idiot races past!
I so hope I do not come across this person again and if the idiot is reading this : YOU ARE AN UTTER peanut!!
