What an utter fool...glad you and bike are ok, I would have been so pissed off if that was me. It would be one thing if he'd been contrite...but as it was...eejit.

However, this is the second time in as many months that someone's collided with me while I'm stopped.

Must be more vigilant! :?

It's the orange jersey you wear that draws them to you. :roll:

HaHa, I got excited thinking exactly the same thing so Im bitterley disappointed. However its great to see LiT lives another day so maybe it will happen

Glad to hear no damage sustained to either bike or rider, old really as some of those full-sus BSO can weigh the same as a small family car ;-)

I've only ever had a couple of people *nudge* by back wheel when pulled up at lights, quite a feat considering I have 700x25c tyres - not the biggest of targets!

I'd also be interested to hear as to exactly he expected you to "move out of my way" when he was approaching from behind - I should have tried that line on the poor lady I shunted from behind in my car "Why didn't you keep moving?" Take some solace that he probably died a little inside at the thought of a girl with 1 gear (as if he'd be able to comprehend this) overtaking him :-)

That was my intention, Greg. I knew I'd never have lured you in with a title such as 'minor bike collision involving numpty with gangsta leanings'

Glad your OK LiT - I think in the circs that definitely counts as a scalp - he sounds like potential roadkill
