Have any of you cyclists ever got into an argument with a cager and then thought "What really is
the point???"
On my commute home this evening there was this slow cyclist ahead with a car stuck behind it unable
to overtake due to oncoming traffic.
I was stuck behind this car and there was another very impatient car stuck behind me!
When the oncoming traffic cleared the car in front of me overtook the cyclist, and I obviously
followed this car past the slow cyclist, but the impatient car then tried to overtake me *while I
was overtaking the other cyclist* and he suddenly had to abort the overtake due to another
oncoming car.
About 50 yards ahead we came to a "give way" road junction and I was waiting to turn right and the
impatient driver was waiting to turn left and suddenly I hear "OI MATE!" from this driver.
"What the F**K do you you think you were doing back there you nearly got your self f**king KILLED??"
(By now he had a line of 5 other cars patiently waiting behind him also waiting to turn left)
I said "What are you talking about?"
He said "You just overtook that cyclist with no f**king warning at all!!!"
I said "You just tried to overtake ME waithout checking if it was safe first" (referring to the
oncoming car)
anyway, I soon realised that there was little point in arguing any more, so I just said
"It appears you are in the wrong yet you don't realise, and this ain't getting us anywhere"
He said
"You are a f**king t*sser, F**KING T*SSER, T * S S E R !" and drove off at high speed spinning his
wheels and burning a lot of rubber!
Makes you wonder if cagers suffer from brain oxygen starvation of something!
