Evening
...Just had a bizarre and quite scary experience while cycling along one of the little side roads off the Bricklayers Arms near the Old Kent road.
2 guys, 1 girl & a pit-bull were walking along the pavement.
Start of bad jokeOut of no where the man with the dog runs into the road straight at me... almost pushes me off but then suddenly changes his mind in the last second and runs back to the pavement. I looked around while still going along & asked what that spivo performance was. All three start yelling at me 'that I nearly got my bike stolen', goading me to stop. I carried on and lamely shouted out that they were 'angry little people'... knowing that they would be clearly flustered by my witty retort and having learnt their lesson, I felt content to move along while keeping my head down wondering what I'd have done if I was pushed off my bike.Well I just thought I'd share this as a reminder that bikes don't just get stolen while they're locked up, so it's probably best to start panicking and stop riding altogether.
... bike for sale
(um, not)
