Another ordinary day
OK, so this morning was an ordinary morning like so many others. :-)
At 8:00 I was about to enter the "S" bend in the Oakington airfield road when I was beeped at by this Toyota Yaris, license AG59NXM.
I stopped, took her picture and was just about to ride off when she got out and explained that I was in the middle of the road.
I simply replied that I was merely going around the holes in the road and that vehicles were banned anyway so I thought she was being unfair. You can see the queue of traffic building up behind her in the 30 seconds that this all took to happen. About 1 minute later, well after the "S" bend we were just entering, a dirty-orange coloured BMW overtook all of us easily doing 80 mph, beeping wildly as he went.
Then, 7 minutes later, all way over nearly in Girton, I was in the shared-use cycle-path / pavement and this Honda Note license AK09L?? slows down next to me with his window open and the driver leans over his wife (not easy given his build) and yells: "what's your fucking problem?!?!?!?" and drives off!
Finally, I was approaching a zebra crossing, in town, when I see a woman pushing a pram and pulling a dog making motions to cross it. So naturally I stopped and she did look pleasantly surprised whilst she began crossing that zebra, but then an instant later a middle-aged guy on a bike sails over the same crossing missing her by a mere inch. She was initially shocked, but then oddly smiled. She looked at me, grinned and said: "That man works at the Police station; he had a badge on his tie!" We think he was the receptionist or some other civilian worker, because his badge was like a shop worker, not a Police ID.
