I thought I was cynical, but even I'm not that cynical. I reckon the guy was genuinely trying to be helpful.

So only 1 in 20 people are. That's still a lot of people out to cause trouble. No wonder I prefer to spend most of my time on paths these days (yes, which have their own problems, but not too much where I ride).human909 wrote:95% of motorists aren't out to cause cyclists trouble. Most are just regular nice people who happen to be driving a car!

That is not an old school trick. That's an old school mistake. I had a friend crack his windscreen doing the same. It's supposed to be luke warm at most and poured sparingly and evenly.birdbrain wrote:My father used an old school trick once to clean his windscreen one cold icey morning.
