Why do some roadies ride like pricks!!!
I seem to be attracting all sorts of trouble on my bike, the other day an audi nearly took me out at a pinch point, today I went on a nice quick ride, got a lil lost on the way in and again on the way back :oops: but got back on my route, heading along all cheery and happy, inside lane was empty so I just cruised along at a nice pace, cars in the outside lane.
Parked car up ahead, so look to pull out and go round, then I hear a clicking sound - spin and look and theres a roadie with his front wheel inches from my rear cassette, close enough that if I farted it would of come out his rear end :evil: had to nigh on stop as I couldnt pull round the parked car because the guy was so close. then he happily popped 2 sets of red lights :roll:
On a good note, had a lovely ride and found a sweet spot in terms of position because of the wind, kept moving then all of a sudden the wind resistance went
