Watch out for:

Fair weather cyclist cutting you up with no helmets etc etc

Cars over taking to close

Flys, Wasps, Bees

Dog walkers on trails

Anything else I missed out?

There's lots of farm machinery moving around in the lanes at the moment. You don't want to run into those things. I don't think the weather effects the number of cars that pass too close, but it will mean more caravans.......and they do give me the heaby jeabies. Fair weather cyclists are too slow to be a nuisance. As for the insects, yep, no more rides without glasses on, and once it is warm enough for sun cream, beware of the endless little buggers sticking to your skin.

White salt lines around the crotch area.

Tan lines

Stinky helmet.

New cyclists riding frantically and doing frequent shoulder checks when they pass you and being mystified when you don't race 'em

So they're not just targetting me then? My pet hate is when you're down to 3 or 4 mph grinding your way up a steep bit, too slow to take your hands off the bars to swat them away in case you get into a wobble. Don't know what the fascination is for them. I was starting to think I might need to change my shorts more regularly.

Those annoying little midgies that are strangely always at mouth height....
That mysterious whiff of ripe dog poo...:blush:.(stop to check tyres etc)
Morons on pit bikes who think that racing them on cyclepaths is fun
Dust spewed up by trucks etc

I look forward to stopping for an ice cream along the way and hearing "You rode your bike from where?"

I get that from people at work, they can't believe I ride the six and a half miles from the next city, after almost five years I would have thought the comments would have stopped.



I I take the MTB to the Rocky Mountains to enjoy some proper outdoor time (Watch out for the Coyotes and Bears)

An interesting line in wildlife, makes our foxes and pheasants look tame, are they much of a problem?
