Irrational cycling dislikes

[dudi]

RLJing

cyclists who mount the pavement at lights, round the corner n the pavement then back onto the road in front of the other traffic - it's just rude, wait yer feckin turn!

i've seen 'tri bikes' 'black spokes and hubs' high viz' and 'lycra' on here.

that just about sums me up on my commute.

 

[Bollo]

Front quick release lever on the RHS of the hub.
Too low saddles - hey, they're not my knees!
Helmets with visors - especially when worn by someone riding a road bike - Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
For that matter, SPDs (not SLs) on road bikes.
The smell of 'used' Assos chamois cream.
Hybrid bikes - honestly, you do not need that suspension.
MTBs
Any sports drink tasting of bananas
Bananas

......for starters.

Roads with sheer drops to the side of them....doesn't have to be a long drop...only a foot or two and I'm riding in the centre of the lane to get away from it....I'll never be able to ride the famous climbs of the Tour, Giro etc.

Oh yes, I ride one stretch where the edge of the road are open ditches. Only about 3 feet deep but I'm convinced I'm going to cycle into them someday. Mountain pass roads? no way, my shorts would become overly padded very quickly.

Non-white sox, also sox too long.

Dirty road bike.
Persiting with obsolete kit that should have been binned years ago.

[Gerry Attrick]

Strange persons who ride mountain bikes far too small for them;
Said persons riding as they do with knees akimbo.

Trikes - the upright variety. Why?

SPD sandals. I'm sorry.

Neat baggy shorts always look a bit Enid Blyton.
