No no there it still some hair sticking up, but it's thinning fast at the frontI think we can take it then it is a grade 1 :>)
T.M.H.N.E.T I am a cyclist and have experienced numerous close passes, etc, and so am perfectly aware of the levels of bad driving out there towards cyclists. However it is events like this that will only annoy non cycling car drivers even more and make them more likely to cut us up. Please kindly remove the part of your post that describes me as having said the above, as that isn't the case.
I'm sure you wouldn't and there are many people who wouldn't, but I can assure you there are un-normal drivers out there with the mentality that if a cyclist has caused them issues then they won't bother giving us the room that we should get.What sort of normal person would see someone cycling badly and then decide that they'll therefore go and cut some other cyclists up? I see things every day that I don't like, but I don't then decide to go out and intentionally endanger someone's life. If what you're saying really does happen then it's not the cyclists we need to worry about, but the mentality of these people that see a bad cyclist and think that's justification for endangering other cyclists.
While the cycling behaviour you describe is poor, I don't agree with what you're saying here at all.
I have an idea that they were on a group ride from a local cycling shop, but have no proof. Deserve is probably the wrong word, but you get my point
If they are really an un-normal driver, as you put it, then they won't need any sort of justification, in the form of a cyclist or cyclists making them feel aggrieved at some point in the past, to make them drive like a twunt. They'll just drive like a twunt regardless. Because they are a twunt. And that's how twunts drive.I'm sure you wouldn't and there are many people who wouldn't, but I can assure you there are un-normal drivers out there with the mentality that if a cyclist has caused them issues then they won't bother giving us the room that we should get.
No. It's the few idiots that give themselves a bad name. The rest of us are not guilty by association with twunts, regardless of their mode of travel, just because we are from the same species.I come across this behaviour every time I go out for a ride at the weekend in North London and Hertfordshire. I also see some great, disciplined riding in large groups. Unfortunately it's the few idiots that give everyone else a bad name.

Has any one said it was? The thread wasn't having a go at generic groups of cyclists, it was having a go at that particular group! Seems to have hit a nerve with a few though!Well said.
If some nobbers ride their bicycles badly it's nothing to do with me.
Yes, had the same experience while talking to non cycling drivers (btw, these people are normally very nice folks)I'm sure you wouldn't and there are many people who wouldn't, but I can assure you there are un-normal drivers out there with the mentality that if a cyclist has caused them issues then they won't bother giving us the room that we should get.

So gavgav the answer to your question is yes!I come across this behaviour every time I go out for a ride at the weekend in North London and Hertfordshire. I also see some great, disciplined riding in large groups. Unfortunately it's the few idiots that give everyone else a bad name.
You changed your user name? I thought there was only one grumpy on this forum: Adrianred light jumping cyclists do deserve to be in a crash.
Preferably one they walk away from carrying a busted bike.
