Well you could just stick it out - you DO have a right to be there. Or, you could pull your bike off the road and let them pass. Or you could ride really fast so they are no longer stuck behind a 'slow' bike. I do all of the above to differing degrees depending on how long they are likely to be stuck behind me and if they were nice about getting stuck or not. hippy |

What I hate more is when there _is_ enough room to pass, but not a hell of a lot, and the f^&wit won't go round, but instead sits two inches off your back wheel. You just know that their frustration level's going to rise to the point where they'll do something stupid. West end of Mowbray road is a typical example. When that happens, I deliberately slow to a snails pace. Once or twice I've actually stopped, and then they suddenly realise there's a whole road there and take off. Regards, Suzy |

... WHat do you poepl do if you are on a road where there isnt enough room for a car to safely pass you, but is stuck behind you and driver is getting ****ed? I just try and gesture to them to move past if there is enough room or otherwise duck up onto the path for a couple of metres so they can get past. If there isnt enough room then ride on but if it looks like they are going to get stupid then just pull off and let them past... it aint worth being hit from behind or having something thrown at you as they go past. My fav was the couple in the beat up POS that changed to the outside lane (yes this was on a hwy with little other traffic) then Ferrel Sherral yells "GET ON THE FOOTPATH AND OFF THE F**KING ROAD!" whilst her delightful buck toothed husband points to footpath using his middle finger and then hoon off leaving a ploom of black smoke... only to end up at the next set of lights where she is half the way out the window still yelling at us as my mate rides past and gives her half a bottle of Powerade in the face... We then took her advice and hiked it onto the path and down onto the cycleway (where we were headed anyway). |
