Petty Cycling Hates

[Milo]

Say what you mean??

 

[Martyn H]

lack of consistency in cycle clothing sizing

and

the rattling pump on my bike (must wrap an elastic band around it when I get chance)

 

[Martyn H]

"Get some double sided Velcro"

A good idea, will have a look on Saturday.

Miserable, moaning, whinging cyclists. The uphill is there to make the downhill feel better likewise the headwind. Lycra equals efficient cycle clothing, I do not wear a suit whilst swimming.

 

[Rezillo]

Flies and wasps.

 

[Milo]

That's what I want you to do. Preferably with some basic grammar and punctuation.

PRICK

Is this cycling specific?

Yes. I don't tend to get plastered with the things in other activities, nor do I end up eating them.

That driving instructors seem to be teaching people that when behind a cyclist approaching a traffic island , the best place to overtake is when you are both passing the island. Today's rant

-Pedestrians who decide that stepping in front of me is the best way to get around someone on the pavement, ignoring the fact that if I can't stop in time they are getting hit as there's not a chance I'm deliberately swerving into traffic.

-The nutter doing laps up the park who cycled very quickly at me head on on the right hand side of the path while I was trying to teach my Mum how to use her new bike (having not ridden for 8 years). It's a narrow path, not a velodrome.

-Accelerating in a high gear after an abrubt stop.

Stepping in sh1t in my spd shoes.

Scraping said matter out of my spd cleats.

And the fat ignorant b1tch that couldnt move her elephantine obscenely over fed mass to one side of the cycle path and accidentally on purpose made my wife fall off her bike.

Not keeping said spd cleat turds to smear in the face of offending obese brainless cycle path twunt.

Not having the self control to avoid ranting that on the forum...

I'll get back in my box now...

Yea I’m not trying to be aggy in the slightest tbh I just don't really see why not liking tattoos is say any different to not liking Bracknell.

Hardly a petty cycling hate though?

I sympathise. Nothing worse than when putting bike in shed, you suddenly get a whiff of something capable of stripping paint at 20 yards , look down and notice that a huge dollop of ripe dog muck clinging to every crevice of your new MTB knobblies. Awful stuff to get off, would suggest a long screwdriver, plenty of wet wipes, no sense of smell etc...

 

[on the road]

Cyclists who when turning right or moving over to the right signal and then turn a split second later without looking behind them to check that it's safe to turn and without checking to see if any motorists behind them have slowed down enough for them to turn.

Got that right

The way I can be pootling along quite happily then a racing snake swishes effortlessly past me and into the distance leaving me feeling sweaty, fat and useless.
