We were expecting stormy/rainy weather throughout the day so I left with my rain gear, not bothering to take a jacket and ended up uncomfortably sweaty since it was dry and hot (mid teens Celsius) on both legs.

Putting aside the mild discomfort, the commute was great and a slight bit faster since changing to slick, low rolling resistance tires, but I did have a very unusual encounter on the way back home...

I was told to "use the sidewalk" by a cyclist!

I was keeping a pretty good pace (actually I was on the top range of my 3-speed IGH) and keeping a very high cadence, and wasn't taking up the lane so he had no sane reason for the sarcastic, nasty remark.

I eventually passed him on a small hill, and taking advice from people here at BF, I just smiled and waved... needless to say he didn't like that and I though I heard some not-so-polite words while he was trying to catch his breath.
