Had a couple in the past few days, the first was on a section of cycle path, it was a miserable evening horrible drizzly soaking rain, and I was approaching a young girl and I assume her mum who were riding in the opposite direction, I slowed down to make sure we all went through safely and as I went past the girl said,
"Ooooo, hello Mr Proper Cyclist."
So that was nice, the second wasn't quite so pleasant.
Travelling down a narrow section of road, car comes racing up behind, we are literally a second from where the road widens so I can let him through safely, but he can't wait that long so he starts to squeeze through anyway forcing me to pull to the left. Anyway, he's coming through and I raise my right hand in an open palm up couldn't you have waited just another second/exasperated kind of gesture, no swearing and no rude hand signals. The passenger leans right out of the open window, gives me and bird and starts screaming and shouting,
"F*** YOU, F*** YOU YOU C**T, F*** YOU!"
Which he continues to do until they're out of sight. I gave him a big smile, a wave and a thumbs up and he still kept shouting. There's no pleasing some people.
