Weird one this morning. Was cycling past St Marys Redcliffe in Bristol. The road has dual carriageways and there are two lanes. I'm in the left in primary, I am approaching the roundabout at the end and just ahead is a zebra crossing. Now I am pootling along, not giving it gas at all. There is a middle-aged lady on the crossing with a younger woman, possibly daughter. The older lady looks up and starts, and begins to walk faster, pulling the younger one along. I slow even more thinking there was maybe a fast approaching vehicle they saw. They cross in front of me and as they do she shouts at me 'I thought push-bikes are supposed to slow down for a zebra crossing' at me, slowing down. I responded that I was waiting for them, to which she says something dismissive. The younger woman looks embarrassed. I tell the older one she is insane and cycle off.
Honestly talk about a drama in your own head.
