massey man Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 a group of 7 cycilists riding 2 abreast on the main road up in to newtownards from portaferry which is very twisty and few overtaking spaces and me stuck behind them n tractor and powerharrow,they started to wave me on at the last corner as they could see up the road and i gave the massey the throttle,they were doin the same speed as me and wudnt slow down or pull in and then they started tellin me to give her more when she was flat out,got by them whilst giving them a torrent of abuse and they come right up behind power harrow so on go the 6480 brakes SHARP then 3 of them overtake me on the inside of the tractor. they were wearing coats that said a c c on them which likely stands for ards cycle club,personally i think it stands for aholes cant cycle if anyones down in newtownards country and sees them feel free to drive over them and then reverse just to make sure you got them.

JC Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Starting to feel a little less painfull now this bruising's coming out : Nasty Paul, that will keep re-occuring now mate if you aren't carefull...... Make sure you get some decent boots with plenty of ankle support for work now as that ankle joint will be a lot weaker than it was before.

richo Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 The artic tipper lorry trying to overtake a cyclist on a narrow bridge and forcing me to brake hard and stop! The cyclist didn't look too happy either. What really annoyed me was the torrent of abuse i received as he drove past when i raised my hand in suprise/ annoyance. A phone call to the company (Lafarge Aggregates) should sort that idiot out!!! As i said on the phone we all make bad judgements when driving sometimes but it was his attitude that got me > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
