As I pummelled the dough I was reminded of the muppet in the white van that terrorised me on the way home the other day.
I was in 'my space' on the road, with a car in front of me, and they (the white van) seemed to have had a bad day and were not happy (i guess) that I was in front of them? Sor-rry! Revving their engine and blasting their horn behind me, they followed me for a good 900 yards unable to get by. They did eventually overtake me when there was room, and broke infront of me as if to make a point. It left me a tad shaken and seriously wondering if all this cycling malarky was worth it!?
Yes, on the way home a few dozen drivers race-off accelerating away like missled lemmings after being inconvenienced for 10 seconds! Oh I do hope they get there in time!!
But cycling IS worth the occasional encounter with a ready-sliced roadster! Life is worth living. Breath is worth breathing! Time is worth spending! Bread is worth cutting!
I do wonder why so many people are in such a rush to get somewhere? Life's too short to get their early!
Driving home from work used to take me 25 minutes. Riding takes me 35.
OK some may think I'm a bit of a crusty old loaf for cycling to work but take if from me - it tastes good!!!
Ta Holly!
Hurrah! Glad you liked it. xx
ReplyDeleteBread looks deeeelishus! White van man and the like are MUPPETS!!!! They don't get there any sooner and upset others on the way. I have reduced my average speed by 10mph and guess what? I still get to my destination at the same time - I just catch up with the idiots at traffic lights and roundabouts - then I can be quite smug at my increased fuel efficiency!!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Slow down 'dudes', it's not a race! Despite what 'people' might tell you, it's not a race!
ReplyDeletePS Bread is gorgeous!
