I'm pleased to say that isn't an everyday occurance for me. Indeed the
possibility of *me* being in a cycling race are

2. Slim

Surely you need to ride with consideration for horseriders?

Yes of course, but it cuts both ways - in this case it sounds as if the
horse rider wasn't paying attention to what was passing before coming
out into the road.

I always try to be considerate of horse riders that I meet on the road,
and most of them are friendly and pleasant in return, but as with all
modes of transport, you get the odd arrogant nitwit who thinks s/he owns
the road.
