"Why were you in the middle of the road, didn't you hear me wanting to overtake you?"

Errrrrrrrrrrrr, probably because the road wasn't wide enough for you to overtake me, hence me
cycling in the middle of the road to prevent you from attempting a dangerous overtaking manouvre. Oh
and also probably because the speedlimit on said road is 30mph, and I was going at 30mph.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I have NOT have a good commute yet this week. Thank God I have only come back
to work 3 days a week or I dread to think what my bp would be like.

I bet you never heard them paying *road tax* and insurance either and had you planned your route
better you'd probably have been able to use a cycle track that they provided at great expense for
you too, selfish sod!

Thanks :O) Apart from psycho drivers I am fine! Lex is doing really well - is almost 8 months old
now and getting cuter everyday ;O)

Pics, if you're that interested!, are here:

There's one of him in his cycle helmet in gallery 7 but we haven't got round to going out in the
Burley yet!

Hope you are well

Glad in a way it's not just me who's been battling with stupid people. Here's hoping next week is a
better week for all :O)

Welcome back, Becca. It's crazy out there, isn't it? I've given up trying to be nice to following
motor vehicles. Three times lately I've politely pulled off the road to allow a thundering lorry to
pass, only to have it turn into a side entrance just behind me. I also _used_to_ move considerately
out of the bus lane into the main carriageway rather than delay a bus. Three weeks or so ago a bus
then pulled out of the bus lane to squeeze past me in the main carriageway then pulled back into
the bus lane.

Surely the most irritating question for a cyclist is "don't you have a car?"

That's terrible. What cyclist would do such a thing? I hope you got a good description of
yourself. :)

Stupid people seem very keen to demonstrate their stupidity to one and all. Perhaps it's because
they are stupid:) Was the stupid motorist behind you beeping their horn in a, "get out of my way
peasant", sort of way?

The pictures are great, I'm surprised you had time to put them up.
