Peds!

Yes, and that kind of encouragement will only get you killed in the face eventually.
They were walking on the road (and I was on the road) but I was not in their way.

i live on mountgrove road, cars park on both sides so were you riding on the pavement or they walking in the road? either way theyd have had a bit of a mission to get round car to whip you.... you must have been riding really fucking slowly for that to happen. maybe she was encouraging you?
