no.

as an aside, Hora, does your user login have any connection to the Czech Rep.?

i was there last week on tour and lots of the hills there were called “blah blah Hora”.

😆 my surnames slavic.

yeah, or i go to the old bill and say that she offered to pay for the damage to my bike so that i wouldn’t call the old bill.

her word against 7 others.

@ Hora. no offence but i found it to be an awful place. shitty, i mean really shitty service in restaurants and the food was more basic than in many german backwater towns. dilapidated houses. pot holes everywhere, it’s like driving a slalom course at times.

good exchange rate and cheap beer, mind.

her word against 7 others.

you realise this is all on the internet?

oh, bugger!

Its what happens with ex-Soviet places. Hungary got off okish.

In the UK I’d say what you did would be classed as either blackmail or demanding money with menaces.

no offence but

is always followed by something offensive, ime.

hmm… i still think she got off lightly with 500€. otherwise she would be dealing with the ever-so-friendly bavarian cops, looking at having her license invoked, paying damages and court costs and an increase in her insurance premium.

@ Hora…. odd place, the east. even the old german east is different both visually and mentally from the west.

More importantly, was Petra fit?

no.

about mid 40s. not my thing, really…. nice lass in Harrachov last week, mind.

I don’t agree with that at all, she should have paid for your wheel but thats it. There was fault on both sides and we’re only getting your side of the story.

Even if you think she got off lightly you made a deal with her and should stick with it. If you wanted her prosecuted you shuld have called the police then and there

naja.,.. was as described. i’ll admit that i may have wound her up by stopping in front of her. i only carried out this “provoking” action because she shot past me with inches to spare. prior to this she was sat 2ft from the GF’s rear wheel.

i’d question how many of us here would react when 1) their loved one (choke/gag) felt threatened by a car driver and 2) when they themselves felt threatened by the same driver.

agree, TJ…

i’m not going to worry about it. i’ll carry on going about my business and cycling as usual.

Pull up to car and have a converstation with the driver. Point out the error of their ways. Where did you thinking skidding to halt to further block their path way going to get you.

Her actions were dangerous, yours were provocative, you screwed 500euro out of her. I’d walk away at that and forget about the revenge shit you have planned.

if i hadn’t stopped in front of her she would have driven off without giving any of her actions a second thought….

it’s not the first time i’ve stopped in front of a motor to inform the driver of their idiocy. i’d do it again, too.

as for the revenge shit…. just talk. if i was that pissed off i would have done it there and then.

my only concern was whether or not i had any other injuries resulting from her driving into me. as it is, i think i’m ok. not as serious as many of self inflicted biking injuries.

Could have been worse

exactly…. Petra got off lightly.

What Gary m said

I find it incredible that two very aggressive idiots should be in the same place at exactly the same time. Uncanny.

Regardless of what led up to this incident, I’d be more concerned with the repercussions from forcing someone to hand over that much cash, should it come back on you.

500 euros buys you one hell of an ice cream mind, glad you are not seriously hurt, sounds like a close shave.

btw Aplin, nice alpha male acting.. hope you got some vigorous sex out of that later (with the GF, not with the crazy woman).
