This morning I proved it once and for all that I can in fact cycle faster than white-van-man's spit! This all started with white-van-man forcing me up onto the pavement (that's pavement rather than cycle-lane mind you) and his passenger expressing in no uncertain terms that I should not be cycling on the road. I did try pointing out the fact that this was a pavement not a cycle lane but I think they had cycle-lane blindness poor lads. They drove further ahead and stopped to turn right... and stayed there... THEN AS I PASSED THE RACE BEGAN! Passenger sent one enormous glutinous orb flying towards me but I flew past and made it to the finishing line first! (The finishing line being anywhere but the trajectory of aforementioned orb).
In celebration of the win various choice words were exchanged, as well as the traditional revealing of single digits towards each other.
Lovely start to the day.
