I was on my 3km road commute to get onto my local gravel trails this morning when a car going in the opposite direction aggressively flicked me off, even though I was on the other side of the road and not inconveniencing them at all.
I laughed at their triggeredness but couldn’t help that blame those types of people for the reason I stopped riding road bikes and switched to gravel.
That kind of aggression concerns me when those people are stuck behind me on a road and actually have a reason to be frustrated.
Anywho.. just a thought from my ride this morning.
Is angry motorists a factor in you riding gravel?
