road or mountain bike?......based solely on fear!

[shouldbeinbed]

The end of your post above clearly implies that I am at fault.

you seem determined to grab the wrong end of the stick by deliberately selective quoting in this thread.

read the rest of that post again and it is quite clear I am talking about your opinion in this thread compared to other peoples, there is no reference whatsoever to any individual incident or incidents you've been involved in that could even hint at blaming you for on the road things. You win, I give up, if only one of us is prepared to have a straight conversation there really isn't much point second guessing the corkscrew twists you're introducing. Enjoy your riding if you can.

OK so i have now purchased a carrera zelos road bike, it's from ebay so I've saved a bit of cash so i can buy gear. Went out with one of the lads on mountain bikes this evening and feel a lot more confident about riding on the road, thanks for the advice and encouragement from you all........be prepared to give more

out of the 500 or so miles ive done since getting back into it this year i think ive been beeped twice cars, once was my fault went thru a red light, other time was an impatient driver wanting to overtake. both times i didnt bat an eyelid just kept on pedalling. really dont care tbh if someone shouts at me ill shout back if needed, if someone wants to get physical then we can do that as well. command your space on the road and follow the highway code and ignore em.
