Odd one last night coming home in the dark, shouted at twice by different people. One by someone who I think shouted "should be on the cycle path" (on a signed shared path), I responded with "it IS a cycle path". And another, later on the road section, by one of a pair of cyclists going the other way who I think shouted "not so fast". They were both wearing orange hivis jackets so might have been colleagues. It might not have been directed at me though, it could have been one to the other so I didn't respond. At that point I was doing about 15 in a 30 limit section with a lot of motor traffic. 🤷♂️
A bit later though a very patient HGV driver held back for a minute or two until it was safe to overtake so I pulled and slowed down a bit to let him past and gave a wave to say thanks. All things have a consequence though so Mr Audi Driver several cars behind who must have been delayed by up by 30 whole seconds decided the right time for a pass was through the pinch point of a traffic island after I'd already taken primary, and thought another 5 seconds to clear the island was totally unconscionable. I've got a sneaking feeling I've had close passes from this one before though nothing worth reporting.
