While out on a ride to day, I noticed another thing about cycling I don't really like.
Eating flies.

The faff of Getting ready to go out where in running it's top, shorts, trainers and water bottle.
Mind you i'll take cycling over running any day.
Runners listen to music while they are out because it's just BORING.

I hate this & it’s still confusing. They say car up as in up your back side. Up should be as in up ahead.
I like car back & car front better.
I also don’t like when they shout ‘out’ for parked cars when you can clearly see the parked cars.

I've stopped worrying about those... no... really!
They often appear in a neat well crushed pile just after a corner on the cycle/ped tracks and i presume they've been deliberately placed by some disgruntled sort as an act of revenge or retribution against us cyclists*. It's clearly not just a dropped a bottle.
Anyhow... instead of having a little panic and breaking or sharply steering yet failing to fully avoid it, I just carry on straight over it. My tyres have protection that seems to work well and the numpty who crushed the glass and chucked it on the path has got all the pointy bits laying sideways instead of upwards, coz, that's how little bits of glass tends to fall. Of course if i have time to avoid it i shall but it's the bits i can't avoid that I've stopped worrying about. Still not had a puncture in about a decade after hitting countless contrived patches of glass.
*the sad reality is, dogs will suffer more than us

So you’re one of em! Car up is from behind and down is coming down from the front. It’s confusing when folks get it back to front. I can see an argument for using back and front if you’re not trained in the old ways though.

Coming back from a long layoff. Fitness at rock bottom and struggling both physically and mentally to attain a heady level of fitness. I expect I've had more comebacks than Elvis Presley

That's about what I take for cycling as well, why do you find it more faff?
Jersey, shorts, cycling shoes, water bottle, and computer (which takes all of 5 seconds to pick up, attach and turn on). If I'm going to be out more than about 90 minutes, then something to eat, but I'd never go out running for that long unless I was training for a marathn (that's never going to happen).
Couldn't agree more
