First dice with death. :-)

Rural N. Shropshire.

You were pretty unlucky then to have that happen out in the countryside.

They’re pretty aggressive villages, I wonder if anyone here can remember the Wem riots in the early eighties during the carnival. It all kicked off in one of the bars in Wem town centre before spilling out and into another bar and finished up in a bit of a fight on a garage forecourt. I was on the float and had to dodge beer glasses being thrown at me… Ellesmere was banned for something like ten years or more.

That sounds crappy.. my experience of Southern Shropshire is no more aggressive than the odd pub fight or town rivalry.

you should ensure that you wear a neck brace in rural areas like that.. I know you’re hard a snails and everything Simon but you can’t be too careful..

Duh … it’s ‘cos you crossed the border! Should have stayed in Wales 🙂

We got shouted at by a pack of roadies overtaking us on Saturday. Out for a gentle spin with friends and their tandem and one woman starts screaming “get out of he way” at Mrs Rickmeister

Perhaps it was a “I’m out of control and will run you over” type warning, rather than being rude?

Wow mogrim that is one pathetic excuse for typical road biker behaviour
PS you are making excuses? Becasue you couold do better if it is irony??

There does seem to be an aggressive sort of driver from the villages of Shropshire,always in a rush to get in front, and for what, the a494 is a motorists nightmare at times.

Get a mini camera and film the prats.

North and South Shropshire are worlds apart.

Then theres the magic roundabout bit that used be shropshire, called Telford, a motorists dream, a cyclist and bus users nightmare

I find a sharp tap on a vehicle passing too closely scares the crap out of the driver 😀
If I get the opportunity I then point out they scared me to death – takes the wind out of their sails 🙂
