It's POB season again!

Funny - round where I ride that sort of behaviour is normally reserved to people on fixies and skinny-wheeled road bikes.

There is indeed loads of them about, my route to work through the park is turning into an obstacle course!

I find PEDs more lethal than POBs.

I don't mind seasonal cyclists as long as they keep out of my way.

Don't be too hard on them. We all have to start somewhere.

I'd just be happier if they started somewhere else!

If they are an adult, I usually pass with a comment to the effect of, 'Won't your mum let you ride on the road?'

What does POB stand for?

Yes yes, but what is his views on the enviroment et all

 

[garrilla]

Pedestrians On Bikes, ie the fairweather cyclist that is only able to ride on the pavement.

The ones that anoy me are the ones in full hi-viz and helmets.

GET ON THE ROAD

 

[Jim_Noir]

Ah yes them, yes they anoy me.. they are Pests on Bikes!

On my ride today I passed a very wobbly little man on a shiny new bike who said a cheery hello and a full lycra clad roadie type who when I said hello looked at me as though I had flies in my teeth(I didnt cos I checked!!)
I know who peed me off and it wasnt the "pob"

Roadies don't say hello though. When I go out on the roadbike and try and say hello to people it never works. It's like you're not a proper roadie, trying to wave/nod/speak and not even wearing full lycra!
