Dear Road Bike Guy in the lycra and helmet and 80's pink and purple cycling windbreaker [that would be ironic and hip if it wasn't on you],
Today you past me on my right and stayed very close to me, then you started to get us trapped behind a bus as we came upon a messy intersection. I wouldn't have even noticed you had you not trapped me in. I slowed, then passed you on your right and got out of the traffic trap you stuck yourself in.
You might remember me as I am the perfect stranger that as I rode off you yelled "Stupid Cnut!" at. I kept riding a bit thinking to myself, "I wonder who he's yelling at?" I looked back and you were looking at me muttering to yourself.
I slowed down, let a few cars pass between us, and came up beside you, "Were you calling me that name?" I said.
You replied ironically in your gruff and grumpy growl "I was catching up to you all those last blocks and now you think we're going to race, now bugger off you stupid cnut..."
"Excuse me? You're actually serious? Sir, I just slowed down to talk to you and slowed down to pass you, racing didn't even occur to me"
"Oh just leave me alone!!!!!"
"You just called me, a stranger, a woman, 'a stupid cnut' and you expect me to leave you alone?!?! Welcome to the race b*tch, I'm not leaving you alone now, you best pedal faster...."
You did! Ha! Who's the Stupid Cnut now.
All my love,
Roxy
