Hello Ian. I still think this is a sgn of how the culture of car ownership has changed us. For a generation or two car drivers have been told they have the absolutes right to go where they want, when they want, and as fast as they want, so it’s offensive for them to find someone using a different form of transport and being in front of them,

Personally I don’t mind getting out of the way if it’s safe but I object to being pushed…

You mean they weren’t just being friendly… say it ain’t so…

Some certainly seem to understand little else apart from “onk: move out of the way”. I had even more fun yesteray carrying Euro pallets on the Bakfiets… I’ll post pictures as soon as I can…

I sympathise with you on this one. Several times in the past I’ve found myself cycling through a one way, one carriageway roadworks, keeping up with the traffic at 30mph, only to have the driver behind honk and verbally abuse me when the roadworks finishes…probably because I owned my space of the road by riding in the middle, instead of squeezing to the side so that he could bash me with his wing mirrors as he exceeded the speed limit to get past me.

These drivers … Always getting in the way when you have to get somewhere in time! Trying to communicate is hopeless, by the way, since their only word “honk” can hardly be considered a language.
