Half a dozen of us came out of the bottom of Lockerbrooke @ Ladybower a couple of Sundays ago after fixing a puncture. The lad who'd punctured happened to be looking at something on his back wheel as he set off and to be fair wasn't paying total attention to the road.
However, two cocks on mtb's came rolling past, not overly fast, didn't have to take any evasive action, had a good 50yds to see him, yet still felt the need to mouth off about 'looking next time'. Needless to say they got a return of words, not overly abusive though.
Some people just need to chill out – it amazes me that folk can still get road rage for no reason whilst supposedly de-stressing on an MTB. If that were me, a comment along the lines of 'woah, nearly had you then' (which they didn't), with a big grin would have been issued.
