Does cycling attract a disproportionate number of grumpy so and so's?

[I like Skol]

You do all realise that this thread was supposed to be for all the cool, happy, looking forward to Christmas types on CC to make fun of the Grumps

We seem to have been invaded by them here

Sod off! Your sort are not welcome here anymore......

I wasn't grumpy when I first started cycling and joined a club.

The only thing that gets me annoyed is dealing with idiots. Hence any posts on here after a few minutes of being online can see me getting grumpy.

I've just had one if the worst weeks of my working life dealing with idiotic export customers. You can tell some people the same thing until the cows come home and still they keep asking.

So maybe it's cycling that makes one grumpy?

It is when you get car drivers passing you so close,they clip your panniers as they go by. And when you get pedestrians crossing the road without looking up from their mobile phones!

I think people who cycle regularly are the "type" of people who are generally more intelligent and/or are older (i.e. older than 20) and are therefore less tolerant of the commercialised, Americanised, consumerist shift that Christmas has taken in the last 25 years.

What I'm trying to say is that kids and the chav masses lap it up, whereas the rest of us are more cynical! I'm not saying I don't love Christmas - I do. But if I had my way there would be less emphasis on the gifts, and more on spending quality time with family if you're lucky enough to have them close by.

Cycling - No, CycleChat - Yes.
