Very zen commute (because apparently pedalling like a loon only gets me to work about 3 minutes faster than gentile cruising does, so why even bother) apart from being called a "fucking moron" by a teenage ruffian on a mtb who failed to yield to the 'give way' sign and so was forced to actually make contact with his handlebars in order to swerve around me.
1) I am beginning to suspect that I'm the only one who pays attention to these shouty triangles, as I have never actually witnessed anyone 'giving way'.
2) Is it normal to swear at a complete stranger for a totally innocuous non-incident? When did that happen? It makes me a bit sad that people are so stressed that minor interactions like this cause them so much rage. :(
