Followed by a gang of youth cyclists

[Welsh wheels]

A group of these youths who follow the craze to cycle in a dangerous manner in the middle of the road whilst pulling wheelies started following me the other day. Just being generally annoying and shouting stuff. I smirked to myself and put the hammer down, quickly leaving them for dust on my high-end road bike. Quite satisfying to show them up like that.

You ran away then.

You ran away then.

Only after pulling a few wheelies and burning some rubber I would hope.

That's more like the kind of boat I'm in myself.

I doubt they tried v hard to catch you

You remind me that I really ought to spend some time learning how to wheelie. But probably not while clipped in...

I've noticed this fad a few times, I see one lad filming as the others tried to antagonise a group ..

Fairly common in our parts. Last time it happened to me, I slowly raised the pace so they wouldn't notice. They slowly crackered themselves, which was funny as none of them seemed to want to be the first to drop.

Always gratifying to see the welcome and encouragement our members give to younger cyclists

And not with full length mudguards

kids do stupid stuff. They most likely either have problems going on themselves or there jealous. I have a similar thing whenever i go up to my local pharmacy which happens to be near to where i do my work expereince there's always these students (From my old secondary or just starting college) that always are stupid and annoying to me and threating to take my bike, throw water over me etc... (Every time i've tried recording on my phone, my phone plays up or the battery dies)
Not to mention i remmeber once being in town and there were a group of school aged kids cycling in a dangeorus way doing wheelies in the middle of the road and bus lanes etc... I've even seen kids doing the same thing on motorbikes.

@Welsh wheels you should have asked which one of them is the fastest, when the big ego steps up challenge him or her to a race, and hopefully win leaving that person to an evening of encouragement (p!ss taking) from their mates. if he/she wins I'm sure all of us on cyclechat would be sympathetic

Would he admit he lost?
