This thread still valid?
They're back; Chatty Black Cab drivers, white natch, dispensing unsolicited advice.
Heading eastwards along the Uxbridge Road across Ealing Common.
We're both moving, he pulls up alongside me to tell me to use the adjacent 'cycle path'.
No point trying to explain that it is shared use, probably littered with broken glass and
NO2 canisters. I tell him as a road user I'm not obliged to use a shared cyclepath.
We cross the North Circular, and continue. I've already told him he 'will be reported'.
He is proud to tell me he has 'cctv' front & back and the cycle lanes are 'very expensive'.
We're now getting closer to Acton.
He tells me 'It's very simple ..'
I agree with him, 'I think you probably are'
and leave him stuck in traffic.
Really looking forward to the next episode when I can ask
an obese Daily Mail quoting dullard
why he doesn't 'Respect the NHS' and lose 3 or 4 stone,
as it's only my income tax paying for his heart attack treament.
