Mr Angry....

1, Nob end on a carbon fibre race bike and full team kit overtakes me, then slows down....so I am stuck behind him.
2, Nob end on racer hops onto a curb, goes ahead again and scoots ahead (even though there is plenty of space on the road through the traffic).
3, Nob end on raced drops off curb (on a lowered section) without looking over his shoulder and practically lands on top of me....I am annoyed and call him a fuckwit.
4, Puncture - rear tyre going downhill fast.
5, Change tube - new tube will not inflate - spend 15 minutes trying to figure out why.
6, Change tube for backup tube - inflates.
7, 400 yards from work, tyre is flat again - valve is broken.
Summary - 3 knackered tubes (possibly knackered tyre, but I see no faults in it). 50 minutes late for work and proof that "real" cyclists on carbon bikes can still be jerks who don't look over their shoulder when manouvering through traffic on road.
Result - very angry man (does not help that I have a heavy cold and I had a complaint from my neighbour about my dawg barking).
Note to self - world against me, must take out anger on humanity....

Are you me? Apart from the punctures, this pretty much sums up my commute this morning, cold and all.0 -
I do always get your usernames muddled up, if that's any help.0
