Anyone know who "msdawnfoster" is? - Love your work. :)

Ha!

I like this.

Fuckinghell, 5 wankers in 3 days?

Is this typical for London, I get 1 every 6 months or so up here in Manc.

After hearing the familiar crunch, I hopped onto the pavement, and flipped my bike over to fix it.** 12 male cyclists stopped to ask if I needed help in! about 6 minutes.**
Ha!

Magnificent! And depressing at the same time.

Chivalry or sexism?

Chivalry or sexism?

Two sides of the same coin.

same thing

What does the writer do to get so much abuse? I don't get nearly this amount of abuse and I'm a fairly arrogant cyclist when in city traffic.

It's pretty odd to get abused every single day, normally I'd get something like 2-3 a months, sometime nothing go by over a month.

neat blog though.

What does the writer not do if -
" my chain helpfully fell off After hearing the familiar crunch,

Awesome.

She's my new hero...

best blog ever.

This has the makings of something a bit good

You are female?
Even more depressing.
My day is incomplete if I do not have at least 1 abuse aimed my way

This is one blog to follow.

How long before DJ makes it on the list?

Although, the frequency of her own encounters makes me think they may be destined for each other.

I was just looking at the title of the thread, and was wondering how long it would be before you posted.
#18 I think

Brilliant, she has the making of an internet God.

Seems to me that 3 or 4 of these incidents are pure misogyny, the comments directed at her for being a woman and using cycling as the excuse. It would be interesting to know what the women on the forum think.

Wha? Moi?

You gots a 10mm allen key handy? I want to install my effin cranks. Send Max over with it. ;)

I thought this was going to be a thread about the forum users - AmIrite!

true, and would be.

Thankfully, I've never heard Adrienne recount stories like this.

Although we were stuck at traffic lights last Monday and some cabbie was yelling "cunt!" at us while also stuck in traffic (coming from the opposite direction - we had had no altercation with him on the road, was random). I assumed it was aimed at me, but perhaps it was her.

funny and depressing link.
Got to say that in 6 months I think I've only had one nasty comment directed to me while on my bike.....
