I'm having a chuckle at some of this road rage rant.
I'm so super cautious lately when I come across roadies on single lane winding roads as I have no real power to pass safely in a short distance
I slow right down and wait until I can pass safely and the poor roadies start freakin out after I've been following them for a few minutes probably thinking I'm stalking them in my old very noisy fourby.
On my way back from the highland fling I had one guy go off into the gravel to let me pass!

Hey I give plenty of room for the given speed, do you think the 3 second behind count off guide could be a little closer at 15kph?
Maybe they are thinking deliverance

Chill. It's all perception rather than reality. Roadies are nervous creatures...can't say I blame them either...

I'm chill and that's why they freak out
They have a reason to be nervous, even I get nervous and uptight and anxious and angry and bloody furious when driving to the local shops because of the complete idiots on the road around me.

Yeah...one of our lbs owners is a roadie and got taken down over the weekend as a result of a careless driver. Much bark is a missing so I'm told. Apparently three blokes in bright Lycra on a sunny day were 'invisible'...
And I bet the driver said it was an accident too..
That's another one that pisses me off. The term 'accident'. It's not a fkn accident if there any fault.. It's an incident. In 99% of crashes someone fked up by not following the rules. There is no accident when a car runs a red and smashes into a another car that was correctly following the road rules.

But a car is worth something and a bicycle is worth....never mind.

The fact I'm old and pissed off is pissing me off right now.
One night out on the drink with the boys from work and I am buggered today (hungover as well) and all of a sudden I am closer to 40 than I thought.

And dumb-ass hipster pinko left-wing tree-hugging do-gooder's who won't engage in rational conversation but howl loudly until all other voices can't be heard.
Surely the majority are sensible, balanced, moderate, middle-grounders. But according to the left we're all extreme right. Well done idiots, you just gave Trump, Hanson et.al. a leg up you freakin twats!

Why the fuck is it so hard for people to check the tyre pressures on their car??!!
I mean every petrol station has an air supply right next to the pumps.....do you think it's there for inflating your fuckin' Schnauzers' anal glands ?!
Do they think the tyres were installed with some sort of "magic gas" that never needs topping up?
I followed a small hatch-back today and there couldn't have been more than 15 psi in one rear tyre and no more than 20 in the other.
....and I see this shit regularly.
If you run over me/my kid/my dog/another motorist because your braking distance was doubled, or your car didn't respond very well to a sudden steering input, I'm gonna see if my tyre pressure gauge fits in your eye socket.
....and don't even get me started on what it does to your fuel economy & tyre wear....:yell:

Chuckers piss me off. My young bloke is in the final of jnr cricket and all the parents have busted their asses to make sure their kids can actually bowl with a straight arm. You know, like proper cricket. Opposition rolls in and have kids on a long run up flinging balls like they are baseball pitchers.. One chucker gets 3 wickets and their fkn coach has the nerve to say 'nice throwing'. In my day kids who chucked didn't bowl until they could bowl properly. But it's all about participation these days.
