So am I the a***hole or the motorist?

[cchris2lou]

because my commute is same everyday , I am worried they might see me again and run me over .

I just ignore the b*****d now .

A few years back I was riding home from Mill Valley, coming down a big hill, when this fool screamed past me in the other lane, then swerved back in front of me and slammed on his brakes for a moment, almost causing me to fall. At the bottom of the hill I caught him in traffic at the light and rolled up on his driver side window and asked him what the hell was going on! He said piss off and screeched away as the light changed. About 2 miles further up the road I spotted his car parked on the other side of the road with no driver in sight, so I rolled over there and covered his windshield with as much phlegm as I could hack up and then proceeded on my merry way home!

Well, talking of Highway code, rule 163:

stay in your lane if traffic is moving slowly in queues. If the queue on your right is moving more slowly than you are, you may pass on the left

what counts as 'my lane'? I was in my lane until they overtook me, does that make it their lane now? If so where does that leave me? :?

I am with you Ed, give him some shit for being such a cock.

Just today a car was inches from me. So close I reached out and smacked the front wing with my fist as it went past. Guys shit themselves, opened the door and gave me loads of verbal. I gave them some back. They drove off.

Looking back, abusing a car full of 4 kids may not have been the best idea... :? But y'know, red mist and all that

I've probably had as many car drivers piss me off when I've been riding my bike as I've had cyclists pissing me off when I've been driving my car.....
Cars overtaking too close to me/throwing/shouting stuff...
Cyclists having a chat side by side as they ride along/riding down the middle of the road...

No ones an angel but use a bit of common sense either way and get on with it, remember you're very f*cking vulnerable on a bike and paintwork on cars is expensive these days*.......

*i.e. brake fluid in a water pistol - happened to a bloke I know, took his paint down to the metal, v.v.expensive repairs!

i know its wrong and i shouldent do it but i probley would have ripped his wing mirror off :twisted:
its the reason i always ride with bar ends, protects you knuckels from idiots that have just passed you then pull up at the lights close to the curb.
i used to have a mug saying "im proud of my attitude problem" but i broke it :roll:
