Tales from today's commute....

[400bhp]

Thanks Gannymede.
He was indeed a nasty man and waiting for me when I cycled home tonight. First of all his car stopped in front of me and then he appeared on the pavement shining a very bright light in my eyes and fliming me!!!! He was commentating on his film " this is the woman who rides in the middle of the road and causes traffic chaos!! Luckily a paasing woman came up to me and said she would act as a witness to his intimidation and he has now been reported to the police. I'm not sure if anything will happen but I am very grateful to the lady who spoke to me. He won't stop me cycling and I'll be ready if he's waiting again.

What...the...feck....

There's quite a few of who use that road fairly regularly. I don't so much these days but @fossyant and @potsy do I think. I will keep an eye out for him. Clearly he has serious issues. What a fool as well, as you clearly have his address.

Blimey, can't believe he actually waited for you to return just so he could give you more abuse, what a tosser.

Let's hope the police do have a word, maybe worth changing your route for a few days?

I used to cycle up there quite a bit, less so these days but will keep an eye out next time I do.

From another forum I often read, the best advice I can offer is to hammer frozen sausages into his lawn.

Didn't need to go in until lunchtime today lucky me - and it was superb in the sunshine. Ditched the gloves for the first time in ages. Coming home was good too, very starry evening, though I did get gritted (gritting lorry passing by at speed) not once but twice! I can confirm there is definitely salt in that stuff!

Fairly cold, quiet ride home. Earlier had a van pull out blindly - parked cars - no problem for me but his rage at having to stop means...numpty count:1

the police have just called and the car doesn't belong to anyone on Royale Green Road. they have asked me to try and remember which drive it reversed off and where the bloke with the camera was standing and they definitely want to have a word with him! Good to know they are willing to take action

Good! And good work.

Nice commute for me today - came home by the light of the moon arriving at 11.40pm. Less cold than I had feared - there's no frost tonight.

End of the week ride that's for sure - no legs so just had to keep pumping!

Numpty count: 4. And all for the same thing. Two cars didn't stop at give ways on those pinch point single lane traffic calmers as I neared the right of way and two more actually went through as I was in the pinch!!!

This is one of them:

Off on ice again, 2 weeks after the last time - the scab was just coming off too! doh. Gets a bit boring refreshing road rash after a while but at least its the weekend and another day closer to summer as someone said above!

-6 deg at 7am this morning with the windchill. I'm looking at the temp and it's predicted to be about zero with windchill at 5pm. A 6 deg swing. My gore windproof softsheel is too bl00dy warm for 0 deg. Sweaty ride home then - gah

I used to use that road daily, but I've changed my route for a little less traffic (although Royal Green Rd is OK). Did you get his reg ? I assume you did if reported. I ride in the middle of the road, but usually outrun the cars on there due to the speed humps.

 

[fossyant]

Lovely commute this morning. Sharp frost meant the off road parts were frozen solid and fast, rather than mudplugging. I havent washed the bike all week. Yay.

 

[Ciar]

It's been lovely riding into work, just crap heading back home as it's been headwind tastic 3 out of my 4 commutes so far, expect it will be the same this evening, as the wind has been very strong in the wharf all day.

Hi fossyant. I thought I had his number but the police haven't found him yet. Which way do you go to avoid Royal green Road. the roadhumps and parked cars are a nuisance but I do enjoy saying hello to the lollipop man in the morning!

Say hello to the lollypop man for me. I go completely the opposite route now. I used to loop West from South Manchester into the city and now it's East into the city.
