Petty Cycling Hates

[RussellZero]

I hate it when you're approaching a slower cyclist or pair, and even when you shout coming through, they don't move over and continue to try and expel whatever's in the nostril they're not holding shut with a finger. Wide berth, slow down lots, then pass when it's safer...

My pet hate is struggling up Towcester rd then being overtaken by a woman making light work of the hill, only to realise she is using an electric motor

Harley Davidson riders who blow their horn & flick the V's at you thinking they're badass when they're are faker than MAMIL's pretending to be Froome in Team sky gear. If he dared to stop, me & my mate would have kicked his head down the moors.

The only thing I hate about cycling is 'some' people's idea that it is a dangerous activity which will somehow be negated by donning fluorescent yellow tabbards and wearing a plastic pudding bowl on their heads....

stealth winds. the ones where, you look around and all is calm, not even a quiver in the leaves on the trees but you're struggling to get even 12mph on a flat bit of road.

Hills that are in the incorrect upwards orientation.
I'm with Boris here - hills should be down. Always.

Overpriced cafes that only serve fancy stuff.
Mountain goats who dont go anywhere near the front until a climb appears.
Try-hard mamils.
Potholes in Surrey.
Potholes in Kent.
People that shout too much during a ride.
High viz.

I have some more but that'll do for starters!
