Melb: Fellow commuter rage... maybe..?
Outbound Studly Rd into Kew last night around 8:30pm... after a hard session at the velo and a hard lap of the bouile I was almost spent. I spot a roadie commuter fly past.. arh good.. one last target.. Off I take.. caught him in no time. He stops at the lights at the bottom of the last rise (before the descent in to Kew junction). I hold back to have more speed to get up and over. I pass while he was out of the saddle grinding away, giving him more room than required, not swerving in or out. I keep the hammer down - doing my own thing. I then slow to turn off next to Vimy House. As I turn, I get a blast right in the ear. I have no idea what he said, but it was aggressive. I let him have it and keep on with my cool down in the back streets. Do you also scream at cars and motorbikes that pass you? Your Turrets Syndrome returning? Next time, stfu, or take a turn on the front. GPL - Commuter Olympian -- gplama |

Scream at cars? why not I say, and don't stop at cars, scream at pedestrians, dogs and discarded milk cartons! Arrrgh! That does feel better Riders in the western suburbs must be more relaxed...

I was on the bus at the time and despite having my camera, couldn't get a shot of him because a truck was in the way. -- deejbah |
