People can be odd about photos despite everyone having a camera. I find it is men unless you were near a children's park/school then a woman may enquire about what you are doing. It could be meta glasses are the way to go but the jury is out on those

Indeed; however from this guy's "keen" (borderline aggressive) interest in someone clearly taking pictures of cars in a public place it was pretty obvious what his agenda was.

Tbh part of the reason I do it is simply for the visibility of doing so; to make people question whatever bullshit excuse they use to justify their behaviour to themselves in the face of external scrutiny and potential threat of repercussions. Filming works fairly well for speeding drivers too...

A nice calm day today, weatherwise and did my usual loop.

Reached a milestone - 1000 miles this year.
I'm not interested in long distances, but still quite pleased to hit 1000 miles.

My basic loop is only just over 12 miles and I've ridden it 51 times this year. It's quite hilly, with one climb taking me around 5 minutes and speed dropping to 5mph. Other segments see me hitting almost 30mph.

I once had an angry man come storming out of his house demanding to know why I was taking a photo of his field. I pointed out politely that it was because it was such a lovely view of the very picturesque Malvern Hills ... "which you must surely have noticed when you bought the place." He didn't know how to react to that and slunk back into his house mumbling under his breath.
