The public seem to be learning

Yesterday I had to do a rapid skid to a halt and trackstand to avoid running over a couple of police officers on a zebra crossing. One of them looked me in the eye and I expected to get a telling off, instead he said thanks and well done.

Today I skidded to a halt and trackstand at some traffic lights and a pedestrian shouted "Nice skills".

Considering my rather ropey skidding and trackstanding it was lovely to get such compliments.

Weird thread.

I concur

Where did these events occur? I'm going there to practice.

I approached
a red light and gently
squeezed my brake levers
the bike sighed quietly to a stop
I unclipped my foot
and placed it carefully on
the road
waiting
for the lights to change

I just ploughed through 4 old ladies like skittles and a small child and pregnant woman and Santa.

It was great and they all complimented me on my sharp elbows.

ha! sharp elbows, my arse.

I think I was behind you on the way into work this morning.

With the smell of burnt rubber in my nostrils.

I complimented some twat on his driving skills this morning as he reversed out of the one way street I was turning into. He told me to tell some one who cares, I did, it was the copper behind me.

instead he said thanks and well done.

I think your sarcasm detector is malfunctioning. You need to get that sorted out before coppers start to see every cyclist as a moron...

And then..?
