Only because they have an obsession with OMG he's breaking THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!


I thought it was because once a pavement cyclist nearly hit their wife.


And I would call that a case of actual distress. Sitting in your car and getting "distressed" about someone cycling along an otherwise empty pavement is simply irrational, and yes I have been shouted at by irrational people like that. :loco:

A lot of people get distressed about others "speeding" on otherwise empty roads, even when nobody else is there...

Indeed. As well as those drivers who take strong exception to being overtaken. You pass them quite safely, legally and undramatically, and you're still met with a barrage of flashing, honking and gesticulating :loco:

Yep, never understood any of those things.

Never had a problem with people overtaking me as long as they are going faster than I am.
