• Has your perception really changed so much since going to Spain?

    I came back here and immediately questioned why I stayed in London. I can work from anywhere so why, when I have the choice, do I live in a place full of pricks (the drivers, not you lot)? Maybe the writing was already on the wall when I'd finally caved and bought cameras for the bike because of all the negative interactions on my commute. Maybe getting sent to hospital with the rear-ender sealed the deal. What I do know is I have more bad (malicious and stupid) driving in a 30-40min than I see in 2 weeks looping Spain. It's also why I started looking at gravel options and why I like riding 200k - because more of the ride is in the countryside where there's fewer impatient knobheads to deal with.

    Anyway, I was still in a bad mood our Sat ride after another idiot driver incident so probably a bit more ranty than usual. Maybe I've just got "to old for this shit".

  • So to summarise: next time I should get the fuck up off the floor, channel my inner peace loving hippy vibes,roundhouse kick that old woman in the face (because I wouldn't want to be ageist as everyone deserves a good kicking every now and then) then demand her insurance details so I can sue her for all her worth?

    Fighting words, I like it.

  • Definitely. But don't worry about insurance details unless her purse is empty when you search it while she's unconscious on the ground. #hottip
