Somebody in a passing car spat on me today and called me a cunt......
I did the same to him 2.5 miles later.
I suspect that I found it much more satisfying / amusing than he did.

Did you get it through his open window? I managed that with a murderous cabbie in London a few months ago, gobbed right through his open window. In fairness he had tried to kill me and was ranting like a lunatic. Had to scarper pretty sharpish though.- 2023 Vielo V+1

I actually live very very near to Edenbridge, and commute from there to Crawley daily. I have never ever had any abuse whilst out on my bike.
Exactly what abuse have you been the recieving end off?0 -

Yes got it through the window and full in his face. Not nice but he did it to me.
He had obviously not considered the possibility that a bike is faster than a car through London traffic and had his window nice and open for me.
Given the route we were on down the Mile End Road, it is a fair bet that he would not turn off.
Which is why I kept up the chase even after I could no longer see him. 0 -
