Saw a lot more bikes on the road today. Weather’s getting better. Not so cold. Time for that 6 month road tax to kick in.
But when you’re screaming past me, overtaking on blind bends, eager to get past all the ‘cagers’ (whom you have until recently been with yourself), I just want to ask one thing. Where the f*ck were you when it was -2 and so foggy ice was freezing to my visor?
Jebus. If I see one more overtake on a junction I’m going to have a heart attack. Already.
OI oi OI I take offence at that!!! I was out in the -5/-6 degree weather and was STILL overtaking on bends, junctions, and crossroads… so you should at least point out that its the SHINY looking bikes out there that are doing this, not the ones that still have winter road grime on em…
I was thinking on the way home today, if I killed everyone who tried to kill me on the road, I’d be a worse genocidal dictator than Herr Hitler. Now where’s my throne of skulls? See, I don’t have a problem with anger.
And of course, all the car drivers freak out because there’s so many bikes out there cutting them up at the first hint of sunshine. I had a guy frantically flashing his lights at me today and making an unknown bizarre hand gesture as if he was moving his hand up and down a broom handle because I was overtaking as he was oncoming… about 1/4 mile from him. I think the HRH style hand wave may have sent him over the edge. I would not like to be his missus when he got home.
