Hill on my commute, almost as soon as I leave work (the one I was headed for when I had my "Episode"). I'm going down it last night, cyclist coming up, I raise my hand - "Hi fellow cycle person", look over to see what his hand is doing as it's down at waist level... he's giving me the slow down gesture you'd give someone in your riding group! Ooh, I was going sooo fast I had time to wave [i]and[/i] see his hand go up and down about 4 times! Yes, the road is narrow, but I check on the approach if there are any cars and there is room for me and a vehicle anyway. How can you tell if someone is going too fast when they're going in the opposite direction??
Busybody, or Captain Safety?
prob gesturing to the tractor behind you !
or maybe saw a hazard earlier as he was coming up the hill and wanted to alert you
or, sure he wasn't doing a Gareth Hunt at you ?
"there is room for me and a vehicle anyway" - HANG ON A MINUTE !!!!!!! 😉

I’m going for this option..
My other option is he’s a fellow STW’er and watched your vid where you did a comical wobble into a field..
How's that wooden leg coming along BTW?
or maybe saw a hazard earlier
That's what I thought - maybe there's a problem down the bottom of the hill. Nope.
Maybe he recognised a fellow musical connoisseur and was making a record-scratching, fader flipping gesture in a hip-hop DJ stylee?
if he was going slowly up the hill I guess there'd be time for whatever he saw there to move off
No? Gareth Hunt then
Gareth Hunt then
I knew what you meant. It wasn't that, or I would've skidded to a halt and shoved him in the bushes.
[i]Maybe he recognised a fellow musical connoisseur[/i]
He probably would've advised me to remove my earphones, if he'd had time 🙂
Maybe he was just indicating that you’re a short person. Are you a short person? If not my theory is blown!
I knew what you meant
I'd still advise watching the video. CHeered me up
You were wheele’ ing whilst smokin a tab and texting yo’ Julie weren’t ya..
You sure he's wasn't trying to discourage a ferret from emerging out the top of his trousers?

Racist!

sort of thing my kid watches 😆
shut it grandaaaad
option 1) they had spotted a hazard around the corner, e.g. bus load of pensioners, pile of manure, oil slick...
option 2) they were being ironic and mocking your lack of speed

ah yes! I didn't consider the sarcastic hand gesture of the modern cyclist. The dirty bastard.
