This time it was "I'm the president of a cycling Club", after he'd punishment passed me driving a large flat bed lorry delivering timber.
After I'd braked to let him get past the pedestrian refuge he'd suddenly discovered in front of him, saving him from running me over with the rear wheels, I see a sign warning cyclists to keep clear stuck to the back.
I caught him up at the next set of lights and suggested that having the sign on the back wasn't much good if he was going to run the cyclist over before they'd had a chance to read it. so, he tells me "I'm a president of cycling club", so I replied that maybe, he was still a shit driver. He ended up running down the road after me and then telling me that he had a better bike than me.
Waves at mid 60s timber delivery driver in west London, with a P reg flat bed lorry, I know who you are!

sorry, but I smiled.
Oh, I laughed at him when he said that, just because I was on a Ti Brompton......
I suspect he watched you bounce up and down for about 60mtrs until you got in your stride.. He justifiably probably has got a better bike than a Brommie.. 😉
I had a good one this morning - guy who was very, very angry that I held him up for, ooh, i dunno, maybe five seconds, and clearly reaching into what passes for a brain for the worst insult he could remember, yelled out at me:
"Paedophile!"
Did make me chuckle.

Fixed that for you! 🙂
P[s]a[/s]ed[b]al[/b]ophile, surely?
Pedalophile
Is there anything worse?

I was yelled out to 'get out of the middle of the road' this morning as someone pushed past on the inside too close.
I was turning right waiting for a break in traffic.

Well at least he was right about one thing, he did have a better bike than you

Love it 🙂
They have presidents of cycling clubs??? Isn't that a bit like the tossers who play golf. Seriously...president??
He ended up running down the road after me with his big fat wobbly truckers belly and moobs jiggling around and then telling me that he had a better bike than me.
I once got chased by a truck driver threatening to kill me
I suggested we just ran till he had a heart attack...this did not calm him any

AKA elected into a position where he can technically do no harm and/or interfere with the running of the club
My wife helped pick up the roadie who came off on ice this morning in front of her car - helped his mate get him off the road, gave him a clean cloth for the blood, moved the bikes, sorted out the numpties from the golf club who weren't really helping and waited till the Police came to take charge.
Not bad for a 4'10" one handed strip of nothing 😀

Oh cycling clubs have a president, a treasurer, a secretary... Sometimes various 'managers' - eg a membership manager or race manager or club clothing manager.
And all these people sit on the Club Committee.
Sometimes its all very genteel and civilised. More often, its a proper bunfight with everyone arguing bitterly over such essential details as whether the weekly club run should be 50 miles or 60 or what draconian measures should be taken against John who was 2 weeks late paying his club subs.
