She was perfectly reasonable and seemed to be talking about an incident where a dick had been a dick. He was fine at first, then sadly condescending. A failure to take the opportunity to win her over.
And no, we’re not ‘allowed to ride on footpaths’ – we’re never going to win people over if we just bullshit. She could’ve gone away saying “oh they were nice”, but she won’t.
Christ, it’s not hard. She was talking about a problem she’d previously had with someone blasting past her, these guys hadn’t done that and yet they didn’t take the opportunity to show that not all riders are dicks.
We don’t help ourselves sometimes.
But hey, I’m sure she’ll go on Jim’s YouTube later and realise he’s alright.
