So this morning a co-worker of mine had asked me if I take (x) route home (which I do) because he thought he saw me going up Islington on my bike. He then proceeded to tell me he envys me because he always wanted to try riding but to "Do myself a favour and stop" because its not worth it.
He just kept saying "Do yourself a favour", "Its not going to be you, its going to be someone else who hits you". Then he proceeded to ask if I have any kids/age/relationship status/family questions. I sat there trying not to make eye contact because I was hoping he would just stop talking. It would of been a different story if he would of just said "Stay safe out there" like most other people. But to tell me to do myself a favour and think about my family, that "No parent should have to bury their child" definitely rubbed me a bit of the wrong way. Also keep in mind I met this guy a week ago and I was wearing full gear when he saw me, which I wear always.
Any of you guys experienced a situation like this?
