Would it bloody kill you to hit the “pause” button in your grit-mobile when you overtake me while I’m on my bike?

Unsurprisingly it stings a bit. Not even as if I’d held him up, was a quiet B road with loads of room.

No need to get salty about it.

I sympathize, however leaving a few tens of metres of road ungritted could be hazardous.

steady on everyone - it's a slippery slope once you start criticising public servants

The op wasn't expecting such an icy reception. Might need to spread this complaint further.

I bet op wasn’t expecting such a frosty reception here

I bet it’s left a funny taste in his mouth

maybe people’s opinions will warm a little towards op ? Although you can nieve expect a warm reception here

All jokes aside it's really not a very pleasant experience, you should contact your local highways department and tell them that you've been asssalted by one of their drivers.

That's a slippery slope, best be sure any accusation is on a sure footing.

Possibly not the response the OP was hoping for...

Perhaps you could take it up with the council OP? Your complaint might gain more traction there.

You've posted this on the cycling forum where we are more likely to be the victim rather than the perpetrator of a driveby gritting.

If you want to find some gritter drivers you may have more luck here, possibly:

You lot are on thin ice teasing poor OP like this.

You've clearly hit a bit of a thaw spot.
