Sounds very fetching - and I think lilac's coming back in this season.

(I had to google "lilac" to find out what colour it actually was :S)

You don't have to fabricate excuses - no one's going to judge you unfavourably for your flexible sexuality.

Approaching a roundabout, after an appropriate glance over my shoulder, I moved from the gutter and ...

I think your problem was that you started from the wrong place ;-)

Approaching a roundabout

Reading that, especially the bit about getting moaned at for being on the pavement cos some cock cuts you up, really makes me crave shouting 'FUCK OFF' in someones face, preferably now because it will probably have died off by the time i get to do it.

Nice rant JF.

So i was riding home, down a quiet main road (quiet at the time) tonight, and had some wanker of a twat in a van behind me beeping because i was about to turn right onto my road (i had crossed over to the middle of the road so i could turn right, this is the right thing to do yes?) and as he sped up and drove past (forcing me onto the other side of the road) he shouted bastard in some foreign accent, the cunt. I had done NOTHING wrong, really wanted to continue along with him and punch his fucking window through.

People like that piss me off so much.

Damn those foreign accents.

Oh I'm flexible during sex alright.. but I still had to google lilac.

@Hippy....i've got an old mixtape i did about 10yrs ago that you'll love....full on southside chi-town....boo williams,green velvet,sneak,strictly jazz unit,tim harper,cajmere,dajae....the whole crew....i'll try and get it onto a cd for you or something.

back to Stonster question.
I have the same problem, I guess it is because I find cycling quite stressful at times, one mistake and you're down. But to ease this I concentrate on what I'm doing and appreciate that there are more good cyclists and drivers out there than bad ones (ahem).

Yesterday I saw a cyclist almost taken out by a car, he was on the inside and the car he was passing decided to turn into a side road - the traffic was at a standstill. The cyclist swerved and didn't fall down. The car stopped and the passenger and driver looked worried. The cyclist didn't say anything to them, just raised his hand to tell them to continue. I want to be him.

You can gift wrap it in a Grobag hehe ;)

While noting their plate number, filing a V888 form to get their address and paying a late night visit to cave all their heads in with a d-lock. 'D' referring not to the shape but to Death.

(I promise to be less cynical and morbid if/when work calms down again) ;)

hahahah that might be what he was doing. I didn't see what the cyclist looked like but the passenger looked well worried.

I'm well up for the singing, hippy.

Or, stonster, have you tried ostentatious sarcasm?! ''Thankyou for giving me lots and lots of room to stop as you 'overtook' me then slammed on the brakes to wait in the traffic once more!''

Basically, smile a lot, and only praise the good ones, ignore the c***. Drivers are like little children, they crave attention so don't give it to em when they misbehave.

I've got a tiny penis and that is generally the cause of my pent up internal anger and self hatred. I hide this with a cheery smile whilst on foot but put me on a bike and I am 100% guaranteed to go fucking ballistic come rain or shine.

you're not alone brother, Tiny Cock Men of the World UNITE!!

anger to the dark side leads

Any little error by any other road user and I want to scream at them for a long long time....

Anyone got any tips on how to be really nice on the road? Fluffy bunnies and kittens. That kind of thing?

sounds like you need to crack one off a bit more regularly - whilst riding, if necessary.

Cracking one or two off before every ride is a good starting point. Most modern workplaces now provide small rooms to prepare for the journey home.

Deadly Fanny Pack even started a thread about best hand positions somewhere.

Isn't that how the British Empire was founded?

The physical exertion of cycling creates adreneline which makes you more aggressive. It is worth being aware of this and, when appropriate, calming yourself down rather than flying off the handle at poor innocent passers-by. On the other hand, it is worth harnessing the aggression and using it effectively against numpties and other unnecessary road users....and then speeding away from the incident. Remember adreneline is produced to assist both fight and flight. Better to bugger off and ride again.

Actually the buzz you get from an argument means you can really put the hammer down afterwards

yeah, but when doing any exercise your body releases endorphines too. and those make you happy.
but agression looms there too. i think its london, innit?
crowded, grey, smelly, and we re all squased in here, and always have somewhere to go very quickly.
im so much more chilled out when i ride in small and say, continental cities.

Maybe the ideal domestique would be a really irritating sod who would constantly wind up his team leader with arguments and insults. No need for EPO then.

Yeah call him a cunt at the base of L'Alp D'Huez and watch him fly up
