Trail rage - sad.

[PaulSecteur]

I witnessed my first trail rage today.

Someone on a mission, possibly strava-ing shoulder bumped me, then almost ploughed into the back of a family about 20 metres further on. Judging by the hand gestures and shouts it wasn't a friendly event, especially for the 2 kids on bikes.

It almost makes me hope one of the Cannock Chase hooligan squirrels decide to harvest his nuts.

Oh FFS. People like that need a stick shoving in their front wheel.

I can think of a better place to shove the stick.

Dunno, it's very effective off road.. Front wheel dig ins cause some spectacular crashes..

Yes, but where I was thinking would cause some trouble with removing the splinters. Something chamois cream wouldn't fix.

Yes, whilst demonstrating to all and sundry that awesome is the one thing they really are not. A sad tale of advanced muppetry.

I'm not so sure. Darwin's theory was survival of the fittest, not the stupidest.

Like I've said before stupid people are not confined to any one form of transport. May a german made car would suit him better.

A mate of mine is a mountain biker and he gets terribly irritated when other riders use a public trail in a different, ie slower, manner than he does.

He's a decent citizen in other respects, but all concepts of citizenry and simple good manners seem to go out of the window when he gets on the bike.
