W**kers 'R' us?
I have got to share this one... I was cycling to work last night when some idiot tried to overtake me on a roundabout and turn left at the same time; the good 'ol left hook, I was trying to go straight on. First I knew was a screech of brakes followed by him shouting "W**ker".
I looked round to see a fat old man dressed as a cowboy, in a 4x4 complete with cow horns strapped to the roof of his car....
Well talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
Looking on the internet we had the "Boots and Saddles Western Re-enactment Group" in town today...
I am sure we have enough cowboys and idiots in town without inviting anymore in

Just a quick 'bump'.... I know cycling is a tough sport but why does abuse have to be part of the formula?
I was pretty impressed myself
Nearly as bad as the guy who decided to change lanes as I was overtaking him this morning on my way to work.
It was a case 'manoeuvre + signal then mirror. We both swerved and I have significantly reduced the lifespan of my rear tyre as I skidded under braking
But hey, at least I'm alive and he did hold his hand up
I suggest reporting it to the local sheriff, but he probably wouldn't do anything about it.
Was he on his way to get an Indian?
Almost spat banana all over my keyboard....well played
