Cycle Rage

last night on my commute home, I had a fellow cyclist flip out on me for pulling up along side him at some lights, then taking off before he did.

We had to turn right and all of a sudden on the outside of me I noticed a front wheel inline with my cranks and edging closer. I was like "this nodder doesn't know how to ride". before I knew it i felt an elbow in my back as he was trying to knock me off!! WTF! then he started giving me some verbal stick at which point i cracked up, and was laughing.

our paths diverged and the last thing i heard was "by the way, you look like a cock on that bike!". had to pull over and wait until the laughter dissipated. (btw was riding my girlfriends bike as i had a flat y'day morning and was late for work - so I was too big for the frame, but a cock is stretching it a bit?!)

on reflection, wish i had followed him and stopped and told him what a cock he was. there was a bus on our arse as he was elbowing me and could have ended very messily.

if you are said cock - please chillout in future. you may not be picking on such a good natured cyclist in future. (and also thanks for putting me in a good mood after a very stressful day in the office)

Nodders, nodders everywhere..
If you can ride in a straight line, best beware..
Without a fluoro vest you will be marked
So look out when it's warm or you'll get farked.

where where ?
lets go and find him
description please

what a fuckstick, sounds like you handled it perfectly.

if i was a bit quicker thinking, I should have followed him and told him just how dangerous his actions were.

Not that I recommend confronting obviously aggresive people, but I am 6'6" and looking at the guy don't think he would have pulled a knife or anything. Imagine he was just taking some aggression from his day out on me.

all in all put me in a good mood, if a little bewildered

yeah, na, the guy just needs some sex
itll get that stress right off.

you should have battered him

heh, rape's hilarious

fudge, MessenJah - edit those posts

Very un-fucking funny

What a tit... He's the kind of person that is a jobsworth at work i bet.

What's this whole nodder thing? Is it cos they put so much power through their apollos that they basically ride like the nodding dog?

"fudge has not made any friends yet"

One can see why.

Hi i'm new.... bit of a n00b to the forum and road cycling, but like to think my common sense sees me through most things.
Couple of Questions;

Whats a nodder?
Flouro Vests. Does this mean the ones designed for buidling sites. Good or Bad ?

What a cunt! If anyone manhandles me on my bike, they'll get a slap

A nodder wears a flouro vest whilst cycling over building sites.
Bad.

I wish I was 6'6". I'd be all like, "stomp, stomp little people. Move out of my way." That would be so much cooler.

Ahem.

I also wish I was able to laugh at him like you did. That, my friend, is composure. I'd have ended up doing some judo with him in the middle of the road (rolling around, cuddling aggressively) as cars try to drive around us.

NOTED.

I take it they usually ride in a slow weave in generally clog up the road.

Judo?! When was the last time you saw a fight anywhere in the world and one of them started doing Judo moves?

Kyoto, Japan, 25/02/2009 19:43. In an alley behind a laundrette. The fight was over the theft of some fabric softener.

:'D

Fuck all this tree hugging shit. If any moron evern thought about pulling this kind of stunt on me they would be on the floor pretty quickly

Innit. Kryptonite chain to the face, Road Rash stylee

I got to green belt in Judo when I was about 13. I thought I was so tough even though most people mistook me for a short-haired girl/hermaphrodite. My dad still likes to show everyone the film he took of me during a 'competitive fight' once. It's a cinematic classic: around 45 minutes of me and another boy just hugging one another like we're trying to make love without penetration/any understanding of human biology.

My dad cries tears of laughter and disgust simultaneously.

It was tasteless, and I've removed the post out of courtesy.

Wind your neck in, you prissy twat. That I posted that in defiance of any courtesy whatsoever.

I'm the twat? Hmm. At least I don't have to edit my posts to remove poor taste jokes.

Twat.

Not sure from the first bit if you are having a go at me or not. I don't consider myself a hardman but feel i am able to look after myself pretty well in tough situations.

That said, the laughter wasn't composure it was more bewilderment.

EDIT: If you were having a go at me, meet behind the bike shed after class and we can sort it out like proper men.

There are at least two potential judo fights on this thread!
