Had some bearded nonce pass me by about half a foot and moan at me for not wearing a helmet when I went for a sedate spin of the legs just there.
I was however covering my mouth, unlike him so dunno what moralising is appropriate... Think there's just a general negative visibility to cycling that car drivers embrace and gets internalised by some cyclists too. For instance, the dickhead out cycling some rusty banger downhill no handed with his mate and drifting all over the road making it impossible to pass definitely triggered me!
Fuck 'em. 🤷♂️

Getting a lot of passive aggressive shade thrown in my direction by the in-laws for cycling and running “too far” (I’m riding max 40km) . I could crash and place extra strain on the NHS etc....
There’s some stuff being said to the wife via WhatsApp.
Meanwhile brother in law is sharing his DIY design projects on Instagram. To which I am replying with images from my rides. I think they got in the wife’s head a bit and she started the NHS angle on me a little. I just looked at the ROSPA stats on DIY hospital visits vs Cycling. Holy Shitting Hell, DIY is lethal! I’m never putting up a shelf again, I’m off to be safe on the bike.
