Rounded on by pedestrians!!!!!!

Of course its nothing to do with wanting to hit a roundabout with traffic on at speed is it?

Should I have stayed indoors then?

If we take into account all the things which might happen: we'd never venture out would we?
Best thing is to cycle assertively and be alert: I was and I was.

You should have read the secret Highway Code that says that you don't have to give way to bicycles approaching from your right on roundabouts.

Very good monkey, or even how about not going too fast into things, it can save your life.

My sister, who was timid as a young woman, got berated nastily by a motorist for blocking a quiet road while practising her 3-point turn. It absolutely devastated her and set her driving confidence back by weeks.

I got nastily berated by passers-by for having the temerity to upbraid a motorist for very nearly offing/dispatching me.

If the silly bint is stupid enough to engage in eye contact, a pitying look and a remarkto the effect she should be ironing some bloke's shirt is enough to heat up her knickers.

My GF is learning to drive. She was stuck on a road, because of something big further along the road. She had no-where to go so was just waiting. A queue of cars had built up behind her, and a man got out and started walking to her car. Apparently he was walking up to the car looking angry, then saw why she couldnt go anywhere and he walked back to his car.

I prefere to just sit up close behind to the ones going slow, and overtake them close so i nearly hit there mirror while saying, "****ing learner drivers always going slow"
And when they stall, well...........

Don't be so hard on yourself. A bit over the top maybe but hopefully you'll learn from it.

Sweeping into town yesterday on my fixie, I decided to take a mini roundabout at speed...

A two-wheeled numpty going too fast for the road conditions and blames others.

And riding one of those silly fixed wheel things. Where you have no control over them, and cant even stop properly on them.

I get this quite a lot when reversing artics into business premises off a busy road. You can probably guess how much it bothers me.
