There was a Citroen Saxo behind me, all pimped out and a young chap driving it by the looks of him. After patiently waiting a good distance behind me unti it was safe to pass, he gave me at least a 5 foot gap as he overtook me slowly and carefully. Weird I know. Approaching a crossroads further along, he moved his car towards the center markings allowing me to pass on the inside with plenty of room to spare. I gave him a quick thankfull nod of the head and he responded with a friendly beep beep honk of his horn as he again gave me more than enough room as he overtook again...after waiting patiently behind me until it was safe to do so.
He couldn't have been more than 25 ish and the car was pimped to death and in that garish purple/blue changing colour type paint.
Never in a million years did I think I would ever experience that. It made my day

The last marathon I did I needed to buy a railway ticket at King's Cross Station and there was one step down in the ticket office. It seemed to take me for ever to get down the step!

And it's not limited to just that, i experience dangerous driving daily that puts me in position where i could be hit. All because people want to get in front of the cyclist that is traveling slow that them.
