Anything else remotely close to these examples. especially when used by dick head presenters on TV

Cyclists riding two abreast when I'm in my car and late for tea.

Tw*ts that ride at night with no lights dressed in black

The fact its NOT the LAW to wear a helmet when riding a bike anyway!

Dog owners that use the national cycle networks like its thier god given right then don't thank you for slowing down and not killing thier dog or them.

Dog owners who don't pick up poop and dispose correctly!!

British summertime not being British time all year round.

Parents who drive thier kids to school when there are buses available or its close enough to walk or better still ride a bike!

Fat kids.

Fat parents with thier fat kids IN McDonalds.

Thorns

And nettles.

You are Tommy Saxondale and I claim my £5.
 
^ cyclists who dont thank you when you move your dog off the path in plenty of time so you dont slow them down and allow them to pass and look at you like à peice of shit when they do go by you.

Groups of riders who all bunch up chin wagging normally 2/3 abreast stopping traffic gettin past
 
Vehicle (most often taxi) drivers rushing to overtake you so they can either:
a) turn left
b) stop in a queue close enough to the curb so you can't pass
c) slam their brakes on for what should be an obvious hazard that they didn't see because they were too focused on overtaking you
 
Fixies :x Especially the ones that breeze through traffic lights.
I followed one once.He jumped every light, i didnt but still caught him up quite easily each time.He then stopped on the pedestrian precinct and proceeded to lock his bike across 3 of the street furniture seating[instead of at the end]effectively preventing 3 people from sitting there.
I stopped and told him a couple of things.mainly that he was a selfish so and so.I may have become slightly aggressive as he left the area quickly :oops:
 
I've got a couple of new ones in the last few days.


Cyclists who think Hi vis works as a replacement for lights. One of the sods almost ran me down last night.

Trendies pushing their fixies as they chat to their girlfriend. She is probably called something like Charlie, Harry or Georgie.
 
Car drivers who cannot understand the principle of 'giving space' when theyre overtaking,
Cyclists that insist on jumping lights,
Pedestrians who cannot undertand the simple principle of cycle lanes that run next to footpaths and how to use them,
Dogs,
Cats
Squirrels
..and piggin' Swans with a penchant for chasing me along the riverbank footpath.. (I wouldnt mind but I'm usually knckered when I get to the 'swan zone' and the sods show no mercy. )
