Another pleasant cycle, another motoring moron.......

I hope we're all making the most of the pleasant weather we're presently experiencing. Anyhow, formalities aside, whilst returning back to my house from a meander through the North Kent Downs I was lucky enough to briefly hook up with some fellows from Dulwich CC who too were enjoying the day. As I signalled right to turn into a road a 'gentleman' in a rather macho saloon pulls out, winds down his window and deigns to greet me with the salutation of , 'you f*****g c**t'. Rather nice indeed, I'm sure you'll agree.
I stopped to observe more closely this curiosity and I responded saying, 'surely you're referring to your mother when you're using those words?'
He exploded.
Anyhow, more colourful and highly unimaginative metaphors transpired from the sub 100 IQ brain he possesses. I merely retorted suggesting that he must be referring to his mother as how else can his own existence be explained?
Well, more words new to my hitherto limited experience were uttered from the cess-pool of his mind, culminating in him winding up his window and driving off. I think he wanted a shouting match and he didn't get it.
I would normally ignore this sort of all too regular tiresome tirade but every now and again this sub species needs challenging. If I possessed the wit I should record his number plate.
Only a quarter of a mile earlier the pleasant country lane was completely blocked with builders waste. The predominance of white trash chav culture seems to me to be all too pervasive these days. Perhaps they'd be happier in their spiritual homeland of the white confederacy of the Deep south of the United States?
How all very pleasant........
Happy cycling.

Bit too highbrow an approach sounds to me... we dont live Jerome K Jerome times anymore.

reminds me of my mate who chased a guy in a chav'd up beemer (on his bike) to tell him he'd dropped some litter out of his window. we were lucky we weren't stabbed.
Seems plenty of people find it amusing to yell abuse at people from the comfort of their car/van/horse n trap.0 -
at the other end of the scale I did have an old guy who pulled up along side me and wound his window down and shouted "25mph, well done" at me which was nice!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0

Ha, I can beat that! A guy in a convertible behind me shouted at me as I was pulling away from the T-junction at the bottom of a hill last week. Was so unexpected I had to ask him to repeat it: "you were doing 42mph down there!" He was more excited about it than I was, bless. It did make a welcome change though...Job: Job, n,.

Ha yeah, I was actually a bit disappointed when he said that as I'd topped 43 there the previous week. Checked Garmin later which said top speed was 42.7ish so maybe he caught up with me late!Job: Job, n,. A frustratingly long period of time separating two shorter than usual training rides0 -

I've learnt it's generally best to thank them for their compliment and let them go in anticipation I'll not see them and their Neanderthal mate(s) who ride around with them. They are predictable in their unpredictability and I've had incidents where I can feel a smart answer is going to be a wrong move. I'm 55 and 2 or 3 nutcases in a car can take me and my bike quite easily esp. if I'm mincing about in cleats. I could tell you about the motorist who asked me to 'settle' an issue and his basic anglo saxon led to him threatening a bystander with cutting her throat and the throats of her pet dogs - but you've all met his type and the sooner they are on their way the better imoM.Rushton0 -
What's a macho saloon?
Next time just empty your bidon into his face and when he gets out take him down UFC style!!
Oh you aren't a UFC fighter? STFU and ride on before you get smacked!One plays football, tennis or golf, one does not play at cycling0 -

I had a passenger in a car tell me and a friend off yesterday for riding two abreast on a quiet country road. He did this whilst speeding past and leaning out of his window with a can of lager in his hand.
If the car hadn't have been going way over the speed limit then I'd have had enough time to filter back into single file as I had for the other cars that had passed us!
But no, I was obviously in the wrong as I was cycling in an allowed position and he was right because he was speeding like a lunatic and in a car.0 -
And today the news had the story of a car collision where the driver of one car stabs the other driver (79 years old) and then drives off. If lunatics are going about tooled up and are prepared to commit murder over a car accident then there isn't much chance for us should we come across them.M.Rushton0

This Poor gentleman was also a member of a local cycling club and was returning from a cycle event when this happened. let us pray for him and his family at this sad time.0 -

This 100%. Not only are these idiots driving a one tonne piece of metal, there are also lunatics among them.
Ride safely out there, and do your best to avoid or defuse any confrontations.I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0 -

The best thing to do is blatantly look the other way and blank them. After all these pond life are fishing for a reaction. Don't lower yourself to their amoeba level."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0 -

Too true. Although this sort of thing is so rare in the UK, it makes headline national news. But still an horrific and appalling act, especially given the guys age, committed by the lowest form of life to crawl out of the swamp. I hope they throw the book at him, or even the whole library.0
