Pedaling slowly uphill, lovely evening, good tunes on, happy days.
See a old lady walking her dogs, I happily greet her with a 'Lovely evening isn't it' She blocks the path.....
'You do know this is a footpath'
'Really ok?'
'You are breaking the law'
'I'm hardly hurting anybody'
'Actually you are you are an environmental vandal....'
'It's a lovely evening, thank you for your opinion, good bye...'
Cycle off. All sounds great, problem was I was actually fuming for the next 30 mins of the ride, so much so that I was thinking about whitty retorts so much that I messed up the timing with a stream crossing, stalled on the bank, couldn't unclip and fell sideways into the stream with the bike ontop of me getting soaked. Grrrrr.....
Should I have just told her to STFU? To be honest, it's the first time since I started riding that trail (started 1997) I've ever had any issues....
