Why do some cyclists feel the need to try and give it the big I am, passive aggressive "morning" etc.Then a way too close pass?

Normally I just go out and do my ride, and couldn't give a monkeys about anyone else's ride. I don't know their circumstances, I don't want to know. However there seems to be a (minority admittedly) of complete baw bags, who just have to try and be a 'hero'. I had a classic today on my ride. I became aware of a silent wheel sucker, on a bit of my ride earlier. The second I sat up to look at a road sign, he bloody nearly wiped me out with a ridiculous pass, then started to ride much slower than I was, before he tried to be a billy big balls. Normally I'd not give a hoot, but today, I decided to see how quick he really was, I properly lit the fires, and dropped him like a bad habit. It wasn't so much the idiotic pass, but the look the douche bag tried to give me as he struggled past. Later on, I had another pair, who just couldn't shut up. I guess it's the five days of summer brigade 16

Aimed at me, I wanted to tell them to belt up, but I was suffering haribo legs at the end of the ride. It's all good 16

You should have called the police.

I think it's because cyclists are a representative cross section of the population. Some people are dicks.

Your wheelsucker probably cycles the same way he drives. Just be glad he wasn't in his car.

Take a deep breath.

Relax.

Afterwards dwell on the positives, not the negatives.
