This morning turning left into the cyclepath up to Bells bridge two
lycra clad 'cyclists' turn right onto path cutting the corner. The first
comes within inches of side swiping me before he brakes. They end up
behind me a little further on they decide to overtake me, fine enough
except I am on the left and there is a pedestrian walking towards me on
the opposite side of the path the first of the 2 'cyclists just makes
the overtake, the second ( the one that had nearly hit me earlier)
decides he does not want to hit the ped so swerves across into me I
manage to brake and avoid a collision. At that point I give him a
description of his riding skills. We exchange further pleasantries he
finishes with the comment "hi fat boy try and catch up with me" which
considering my age I took as a part compliment and decided he had just
confirmed his lycra lout credentials.
Rant over, had to get that out of my system
