Nights and mornings are getting darker her in the northern hemi and weathers getting bad which makes it more frequent things will happen.

I totally let myself down this morning. Tesla pulled out on my after doing a u-turn in and out of a cul-de-sac and not giving way as I passed. Dudes windows were still misted up, he knew what he did because I got the usual hazard light thank-you, but I couldn’t help shout out “check next time mate”. This guy decided it would be a good idea to change direction and speed past a school to have a chat. No raised voices or any real aggro he asked if he impeded my travel I said I hit the brakes and if I had to do that then yeah mate you messed up. Informed him that we were now holding up traffic, to which they sped off.

It’s prob my worst habit on a bike, I think it stems from my time on motorbikes. It’s just never worth my time

    I used to have some minor road rage. I’m sure this won’t work for everyone but I solved it with one decision:

    I stopped verbalizing it. Both to myself and other people. I used to tell my coworkers about the asshole who cut me off or the idiot who almost hit me and after I decided to stop I just…stopped thinking about it beyond the initial “what the fuck!” too

    I’ve found that when I stopped talking about it, I stopped remembering it. Not sure if that makes sense but it felt like the anger would float around in my head when I intended on venting about it later.
