Here was I minding my own business cycling slowly along a path which was fairly wide and cyclists are allowed on it too (sign there) when out walks this woman in front of me (she must have seen me) with her dog and one of this stretchy extra long leads. So the lead was right stretched across the path preventing me from passing her. I dont like to ring the bell as I think it a bit rude, so I quietly and politely said Excuse me please,,,,anyway with that she barely moved for me and retorted back 'YOU SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD NOT HERE !' I was so taken aback, you know what its like when you are least expecting it and dont have an answer lol. Anyway I cycled past saying 'Oh no I would be lethal on the roads' and said it with a smile and still politely. She glared back and said 'WELL YOU SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO RIDE A BIKE THEN !' I then couldnt help myself as I felt annoyed by this point shouting back 'DONT BE SO RUDE !' but it fell on deaf ears and she just carried on walking.
Why are some people like this ? and cant even blame it on the hot sunshine - there isnt any here today !!
