Melb: Fellow commuter rage... maybe..?

[gplama]

Outbound Studly Rd into Kew last night around 8:30pm... after a hard
session at the velo and a hard lap of the bouile I was almost spent. I
spot a roadie commuter fly past.. arh good.. one last target.. Off I
take.. caught him in no time. He stops at the lights at the bottom of
the last rise (before the descent in to Kew junction). I hold back to
have more speed to get up and over. I pass while he was out of the
saddle grinding away, giving him more room than required, not swerving
in or out.

I keep the hammer down - doing my own thing. I then slow to turn off
next to Vimy House. As I turn, I get a blast right in the ear. I have
no idea what he said, but it was aggressive. I let him have it and keep
on with my cool down in the back streets.

Do you also scream at cars and motorbikes that pass you? Your Turrets
Syndrome returning? Next time, stfu, or take a turn on the front.

Are you sure it wasn't "are you aware that there's a large hole in
your knicks?"

gonna beat the fsck out of him at the next traffic lights..."

Was he drafting you and you suprised him by braking, or swerving right to
turn left, or....?

maybe the crooked-toothed stinky pommie "former world champ"
wheelsucker terrorising the river ride up here recently has moved down
your way. We can only hope

Take a turn on the front? What am I, Jens Voigt? Scream at cars? why
not I say, and don't stop at cars, scream at pedestrians, dogs and
discarded milk cartons! Arrrgh!

That does feel better :)

Riders in the western suburbs must be more relaxed... I haven't seen or
heard similar 'around our way'.

bodysuit. At first glance, we thought he was riding naked! I was on the
bus at the time and despite having my camera, couldn't get a shot of him
because a truck was in the way.

Only in Adelaide would a grown man admit to wanting to take a picutre
of another grown man looking nekkid! :P

I think I would have just tried to block it out of my mind, just as I
am doing with what I saw the other day... *shudder*

Hmmm - it might be time to reprise my tinsel outfit [1]. There must be some
eyes that have recovered by now... It was funny when everyone raced to keep
ahead of me so they didn't have to look, and I raced to keep ahead of them
so they did!

Dave@ might come alone with a link to a pic - if you dare!

Fine. Pimp your own site, but not mine. Bloody shameless you are!
