| Comment | I've had a few of my own unpleasant experiences along those lines, of drivers offering unsolicited "advice" on what I and others are wearing on our bikes.
One is burned into my mind from a few months back. Me and a friend had a great day out on our bikes cycling all over Glasgow, came back home using the South City Way route on Vicky Road.
Sitting at the lights at the incomplete Brazen Head junction, a taxi driver behind us at the lights leaned out and gave us a horrible, tedious rant about us not wearing helmets. I wish I got his plate number, cause it was proper bilious, unsubtle, threatening stuff, warning us about the "need to be careful" from drivers when we're "wobbling about on our wee bikes". He didn't give a fuck about us wearing helmets or not or about our safety. It was his way of saying we had no place being on the road, in front of him and his wee tadger. |
