Most annoyed today as I was sat behind a car on an uphill that was trying to pass a slower rider . Not a problem until someone else that's a little bit faster over takes the car and then holds it up again . The bugger didn't even wave as he passed me :angry:

Three of my favourites...

Someone on a posh bike and wearing graham weigh lycra undertook me in a cycle lane I was also in as I approached a busy set of lights outside Chester. He passed within a couple of inches and made no acknowledgement to his idiocy.

Someone once overtook me in tatton park on a quite breezy day and immediately afterwards blew a mouthful of gob back towards me. He obviously has boundary issues.

The entire club ride of one of the local "wheelers" one Sunday, half of whom overtook me approaching a x roads and then the lot of them called a Left while I was going straight on. Cue those who had flocked to my right and those immediately behind me cutting me up and riding into each other, then giving me dirty looks.

I generally find the bigger the herd or the flashier the lycra, the more arrogant cyclists become. Acceptedly that's a generalisation.

For balance, I inadvertently undertook someone and took the first opportunity to apologise. He took it well and said no problem, all was right in the world, (for that commute at least).
Full disclosure - I was in full Aldi/Lidl/Sports Direct Lycra kit.

I could have typed the exact same thing, even the kit you were wearing.
 
Today I encountered one of these.

Cyclist on mtb, plodding along at 8mph through single lane road works, about 7 cars or so following. Break in the road works, everybody managed to get passed, but then after stopping at lights. The mtb plodder filters through to the front of the queue, and into the next set of single lane roadworks :sad:
