Nice ride to someone in the cycle clubs house today to get some tubes, saw some mates on the way back that i hadnt seen for a while. Climbed the hill(Cavendish road for anyone that knows it) well for the second time on the fixed. So thought i would add on a few more miles and do the route i used to do in winter(to see the nice paper girl
)
Anyway, pulling up to some traffic lights, 2 lanes for straight on, left one also for turning left and the lights are red. I know the sequence so i use my legs to slow me down slowly, just rolling up and someone looks like they want to be in the next lane, but they are close to my back wheel. Not happy, so i slow down more, move into primary while the one wide lane turns into two and slow down more. The guy is still right up behind me, hate this so i stop and say "can you back off?" to which he looks at me, so i say "no need for it" so he tries to go around me, but there is no room, theres cars on the other side so he would of had to take me off. I move forward and hes even closer. This didnt help, so i told him to back the fluf off, and asked what the fluf he thought he was doing. He then rolled his car close to my wheel, about 2 inches away and i watched him, which really really got to me, why has he got to do that, whats he trying to do, intimidate me? I told him again to back off. I turned around to lok at the lights, they were green but no-one had moved. So there was about 10 cars there, all looking at what was happening.
Anyway i power off and decide to leave it. He comes past me close and with his mobile in hand. Then he pulls in at the local petrol station, hes on his phone and watches me pass by.
Saw the nice young girl doing her paper round
Then i had someone in a Merc come into the lane i was in, to pass a car that was turning right(2 lanes going the same way, i was in the left lane)
And in Tesco, some women who thought she was really good looking(wasnt bad) saw me coming down the busy isle and left her trolley in my way, mum got through but i coulnt, so i moved one un attended trolley out the way, and also moved her unnatended trolley out the way as she walked off from it. She then goes on and moans saying "he moved my trolley, he moved my trolley" so everyone looks at her, and i just walk off and put my other headphone in.
I give up sometimes.
Oh, i didn get a big smile and hello from the paper girl
