One's as bad as the other

A near miss with an Audi is a standard ride experience, but yesterday I almost got totalled by a guy in an Audi estate with a Merckx and a child's road bike on his roof as he tried to squeeze between me and a traffic island. In retrospect he might have taken the huff at my Rapha gear, quality guns and better bike ;-)

    'Punishment passes' are all the rage sadly.

    As cycling is mega trendy, the Audi driver probably doesn't ride a bike at all.

    Audi driver with an expensive bike? Loads of money but no riding ability or common sense mid life crisis types.

    Surrey is full of these :-)
    Bikes are OK, I guess... :-)

    At least most Audis are quite good looking cars, Cervelo S5s on the other hand are gopping (it could be worse though you could get one to look even uglier if you put Ultegra on it, but no one would be that oblivious to style to do that).

    Yeah most hairdressers have decent taste in cars.
