It doesnt happen often to me but when it does I used to try to analyse the situation to see if I was in anyway at fault then fret about it for a while generally losing enjoyment in the ride.
Then I had a thought. I often cycle into town and wander around in cycle gear with a helmet under my arm so very obviously a cyclist. Not once has anyone tried to barge me off the pavement noone has shouted at me or given me the finger.
What does this say about the type of person who will only abuse a cyclist when safely inside a steel box that can accellerate away?
Bearing that in m,ind makes it easier for me to ignore the Cowardly Twat$ and not give it a second thought.
