First Road Rage incident....

[darkstar]

and it was from anther cyclist! I was tootling along at my own pace (around 16mph average) and i get overtaken by a fellow cyclist on a steep hill (i struggle on hills to say the least!) he kept alongside me and said "you look like an amateur", i replied "pardon?" he then said "look at your clothes, you look like an amateur" (i wear my running kit, so fairly short nike running shorts, a helly hanson top with a tight t-shirt on over the top,) I was amazed by the sheer level of arrogance in that statement, so i then replied with "well i am an armature" Then when he decided to get on with his own ride, i called after him "Good luck in the tour next year Lance"
What a clot.

You were a lot more polite than I would have been.

Mind you, I look like a pro >NOT<

Your reply should have been "and you look like a tw@t, but what business is it of mine to comment?"... either that or just laugh maniacally and leave him for dust shouting "Yes, another one fooled!!"

Agree with Lee though. Cock.


Edit: Just to clarify, I'm agreeing with Lee and calling the cyclist a cock. Looked a bit suspect when I read it back.

Obviously needed his nappy changing!

Wasn't Joe out again was it?

 

[asterix]

Wish it'd been me! I think it's hilarious Not exactly 'road rage' though from the description, more 'road disapproval'.

 

[darkstar]

Haha I supose it's not road rage but couldn't think of another, more apropiate phrase at the time! If your the sort to look down at people for choosing to not wear Lycra (god forbid!) and choose to shave your legs for the extra aerodynamics (well that's the excuse anyway!) then good luck to you! Next time I see him, if he does the same I'll push him off his bike......

Geeze darkstar that was so rude of the tw@t. I could say something, but will be banned from the forum if I do, but something down the lines of men that drive powerful cars

 

[Jonathan M]

Agree with Lee though. Cock.

Surely with regards to the events the OP describes, the pratt in question would have a small cock?

That is what I meant with my big car comment

With hindsight, you could have gone with a variation on the Winston Churchill response to someone who told him he was drunk. "Madam, in the morning I will be sober but you will still be ugly". Or something like that.

You could have said, "I can get different clothes, but you'll still be an arrogant ignorant RUDE F*****G C*CK SUCKING etc. etc." gradually getting louder and louder and bluer and bluer ...

oh, you beat me too it, I was going to say something along those lines....

What a tit.

Alternative reply: "well, at least I can ride my bike without having to dress up specially".

This works in two ways. It implies that a) he can only ride fast because he's lycra, whereas your power is innate and you always dress like that and are therefore a potentially dangerous nutter....

 

[wafflycat]

Ah yes... the "I can always change my clothes but you can't change being an peanut" response required.

 

[Landslide]

"you look like an amateur"

Response:
"And you're getting paid how much?"
Tit.
