Wholeheartedly agree and 99% of the time it is easier to let people carry on. This started out as a genuine intervention and started to deteriorate into name calling, hence me backing out when it became clear she was a mental.
If anything it's just disappointing. Out of the thousands of interactions I had this morning, conscious or otherwise, that is the one that sticks out. It really is no wonder some more narrow minded people can instantly go "well that's that then, all cyclists are dicks".

Truth is people don't like being told what to do, especially by complete strangers, I know I don't. All you can really do is calmly offer your advice and not get drawn into an argument when it is rejected. Hopefully, if they survive, they will think it over later and realise it's value.
