Cycling pet hates

[Kentphil]

car/van drivers on mobile phones; just waiting to kill someone

Those big noisy dangerous polluting metal boxes in the charge of morons?

 

[Scougar]

Other cyclists who skip lights and act like tits making us all look bad.

The woman who cycled along in the middle of the road in front of me tonight for 500m and didn't pedal for most of it as it was a gentle hill.

In the dark, and rain, with no lights or reflectors. With a handbag.

And as I eventually got past her I realised she was sending a text message.

I can't remember the last time I wanted to get out the car and give a cyclist a bollocking so much. I think if I hadn't been a cyclist I would have tried to overtake her earlier.

Cycling and texting ? Classically stupid! That's her becoming a "tyre warmer" very quickly.

My pet hates cycling... his paws can't reach the pedals!! Fnar, Fnar!

Fixies, with bars skinnier than the rider....
Seriously, what's the point in that?
"my bike will fit through that gap, but my fat, bearded graphic designer body won't"!!!

Monumentally stupid by any account.

That said I was behind a 20 tonne artic lorry earlier today who suddenly crossed the rumble strip on the M5 and almost went up the verge, I thought oh shit he's fallen asleep.

But no he pulled it back slowly then just hovered there for a while, before slowing down to 45 on the carriage way.

Anyway I got past him to see him on his mobile phone dicking about with something in the cab the same time. FFS.

Both isolated cases, but I'd rather share the road with a 70kg moron than a 20,000kg moron.
