Kim, you are very bad!
Also a random "Idiot!" from the window of an overtaking car, for no obvious reason.
A friend of my ex reckons (reckoned, I suppose, given that I heard the story 20-odd years ago) that she was sitting peacefully on the Tube when an apparently normal bloke sitting close to her leaned over.- "Have you spoken to Jesus recently?"- "Yes. He warned me about people like you."
Two cyclists had passed me whilst I was stopped taking a photo in a country lane. I was on my recumbent. I set off and half a mile down lane caught them up. Just as I was about to overtake the man decides to pull out to the right blocking my path.Me: “Behind you” Man pulls back into left , behind woman, and then as I’m passingMan: “Where’s your bell?”Me: “Where’s your mirror?”The response only working as I was on my recumbent, which does have a mirror.Where’s your bell is a pet irritant of mine when it’s perfectly clear they heard your call just fine from behind.
I get it must be upsetting to be overtaken on a steep climb by a chap wearing a waistcoat on a cargo bike while you struggle (insert some rapha copy here), but being called a cheater is getting a bit tiring, it's not like we were racing or anything I'm just going home with all my work shit.
I guess proclaiming something as "cheating" depends on the tone used. Yes, if someone my age uses an e-bike they're cheating, but I mean this in a good natured banter fashion (as really anyone using multiple gears and a freewheel is also cheating ... and I guess to the Penny Farthing and Unicycle riders I am cheating).
