Everyone's favourite buckfast lover this morning, hael!
Odd interaction with some scooter this morning:
We take off from the lights and I am in the bike lane going to chase down some previous rljer so I'm quick off the mark and level pegging it with scooter man. Having built up a lot of fat man kinetic energy I'm now passing him, on the left but I'm still in the bike lane and I'm watching him to make sure he doesn't move over - surprise - he's about to so I tell him "don't even fucking think about it" and he stops his move into the bike lane and I pass him, only to get another set of lights. He pulls up next to me, eventually I turn around and he's staring at me.. so I give him the army two-finger "I can see you" then stick out my tongue and give him double thumbs up.. no reaction.. staring.. I query his staring and get no response.. fucking forrun. Green. Repeat the process with me riding at some speed along the road and his poor little scooter just in front. At the next lights a real motorbike rider tells the bloke off "it's a bike lane for bicycles mate". I turn around slightly shocked at this but grinning and he waves 'easy now'. Anyway, thanks for listening, it amused me.
