On the way to work, i need to cross the road, so i use the zebra crossing, traffic slows down, i begin to cross, but a cyclist decides he’s overtaking the traffic which has now stopped, missing me by about a foot, im actually a bit dumbfounded, obviously i called him a cockwomble, and some other choice words, but seriously, some people infuriate me beyond belief!!
What you failed to notice - and it’s okay as it’s subtle - is that the cyclist transformed from car-mode to pedestrian-mode to use the zebra crossing and thus you needed to share to (not ‘with’) him while he was needing your space. Then, of course, he was back to car-mode after leaving the zebra, and saving the environment (so brave!) once again.
It’s easy to make that mistake. It’s obvious you do owe the cockwomble an apology, though, for taking his space when he was a pedestrian saving the environment and thus better than you.
