• I issued a "fuck you, dick" to a courier/fake courier on Boundary Passage yesterday. I'd just bought a fantastic flapjack and was idly dreaming about life, the universe and bloody clients, when the rider came onto the shared use path way too fast, making him brake and me jump out the way. I heard an angry "keep to the left" and so I replied.

    Which may have been an overreaction. Shared use paths suck, obvs, but there's not really a keep left sort of rule is there? Cyclists definitely need to give way though, that's the law I think. Anyway I was in a mood yesterday. This was a long and boring post. I need to drink my coffee faster.
    How is everyone today?

  • Keep left is more a rider etiquette sort of thing than a rule. It's the kind of etiquette that helps avoid collisions and other flapjack related mishaps.

    Riding appropriately for the conditions and slowing to avoid someone enjoying a flapjack would also be etiquette.

    Calling someone a dick in public is just poor form, unless you spit at them and grab you crotch.

  • Ah, I was pedestrianised at the time, not riding. Hence getting irritated.
    Will remember your crotch spit tip though.
