on the road, by a nutter in a BMW 4 x 4, Saturday morning around 9 am near Hartfield

Tried mad overtaking manoeuvre which didn't come off and had to cut back into the middle of the group

Pretty normal and expected tbh, but he had a couple of MTB's on the back.......

I carry an mtb also in my car, doesn't mean I dont think roadies in groups are a bunch of inconsiderate nobbers of the highest order.

Its becoming obvious that more than a few mtbers never ride on the road & therefore share the same idiotic prejudices as the clarksonites.

Well that's just fine, unless it's a BMW 4x4, obviously. The brand and type makes all the difference here.

Did your girlfriend leave you for a fitter roadie?

what a bunch of pricks..
Yeah, if they want to go racing around they should do it on a race track, not the public road.

I was almost taken down by a left-hooking car last night, but luckily I was anticipating this: I was riding up a short but very steep bit of a road and the car was following me, revving the engine like mad (1-gear I suppose). By the top the car decided to overtake me - but the weird thing was it left me the whole lane space! Which meant it was going straight onto oncoming bus... The bus stopped, the car indicated left, cutting in front of me and trying to turn left... I squeezed quickly between the car and the front of the bus shouting something like "Yeah! F**n great!" and I was going to release my anger by kicking off the drivers wing mirror... 8) And then I saw the driver... About 150 years old granny... 😯

I don't think "comedy" internet alter egos normally have girlfriends.

You know what's harder to overtake safely than a group of 10 roadies? 10 roadies not in a group.

Really, folks. Don't feed it.

He's just bitter because by his own admission '[i]I live in a dump of an estate these days, not my choice, but its the safest I've ever felt with regards to theft, vandalism etc. (Touch wood).[/i]

Perhaps not so rich after all. What a fanny.

Did they have mud on them? He may have just been using them as a fashion accessory 😆

Woah there, and hang on a minute. Coming from darn sarf doesn't make him a prick, being a prick makes him a prick.
I live in the south and haven't driven into a roady yet.

EDIT - Ok, I get it now. Just exposing him as a glove puppet. Ooh I bit hard then, bugger.

Around Hartfield? Is that the Hartfield near Ashdown Forest with all that great riding where the locals love MTB'ers?

It's not really stalking if you put it on your profile.

Are you twelve?

Yes, an ability to click on your profile makes them stalkers... 🙄

Presumably you no longer live at Derwent Drive Mr Cosens? How's Jane?

Guess we were doing around 40 mph down hill at the time

I think a lot of people in cars are inconsiderate nobbers of the highest order (especially in 4 x 4's for some reason). I don't see this as a justification for trying to kill them though

yes it was near Ashdown Forest
