8/22 rides

[smilingcat]

almost became a road-kill from an idiot bike rider with a clip on aero-bars on his drop bar.

Shtupid J***!!!

I was stopped at a roundabout, I also had a stop sign on my side not to mention of a small detail, a car was in the roundabout and being somewhat hesitant. Not wanting to be squashed like a bug on a windshield I stopped and waited patiently while the driver of the car decided what he/she was going to do.

I almost got skewered by a clip-on aero bar on a bike ridden by the j***. He yelled some obcenities as he blew by me then he slammed his brake to avoid hitting the car. Clip on aero-bar who the heck does he think he is?? So I hunted him down on my bike, easy, and told him he really ought to have stopped. He wasn't happy that he was being chicked. Mr. Studmuffin didn't even apologize so I kept yelling at him while he huffed and puffed up the gentle incline. Major dufus!!

then...

a SUV that was driving next to us suddenly stopped and from the corner of my eyes, I saw several jay walkers sauntering across the road. Holy *&^^% batman , I locked up my front wheel and did a reverse wheelie. Managed not to do an endo. Studmuffin almost hit them too. Again I had to catch up and he sheepishly acknowledged that maybe he ought to cool it.

Why can't guys ever say I'm sorry!!! I should have chicked him big time. But I also don't want to risk getting in another crash.

No use talking to a brick wall, calmed myself down and enjoyed rest of my ride.

still little miffed I could of gotten skewered by the clip on aero bars!!
