I do have a great deal of sympathy for this guy, but what about personal responsibility???

I thought I'd start a new thread of what in your cycling world has annoyed you.

For me, it was doing 30 miles this morning and hoping to capture 30 miles of time lapse with my GoPro fitted to the rear of the bike.

Only to find when I got back that I hadn't switched it on !!!

The fact that everyone else is a moron.

Just when it was brightening into a nice day, I had to stop cycling and go into the office!

Two things really irked me this morning. First was a bin lorry I meet regularly morning and night. With the noise of the engine I was convinced he floored it to try and pass me as close as possible on the narrowest part of the road coming off a roundabout. I was just wondering exactly what motivates drivers in the morning to act in the manner they do whilst travelling to work when an oncoming car decided to overtake another despite my presence. I mean, I'm usually reasonably polite, but ffs.

Ordering a new 15t sprocket to sort the gearing out on my Brompton and then remembering I already have two of them in my box of Raleigh Twenty bits and pieces Doh!

Getting home early from w*rk and remembering that there's no beer in the house... Just when I fancied a pint.

That it's only Wednesday, and I'm going to pickup N+1 on Saturday... Apparently Thursday and Friday are indeed "relevant to my job" and "important".

I tried to argue that Thursday and Friday are only really like the last day of the Tour De France but apparently calling any paid work a "bit of a formality" is frowned upon.

It's nonsense I tell you.

Oh, and people that wear cree lights on a headband.

CC members starting threads where the OP is clearly talking shite.

A cycle commuter twit with a strobe light aimed too high.... in bright sunshine. Twit.

Had one with his cree helmet light on strobe this morning, in broad daylight too, on a shared use path... i loudly chanted pointless.pointless.pointless.pointless as he approached... it made me feel better.

Getting asked to have a look at the bike my 71 year old neighbor has been given as he has decided to take up cycling only to find a rather dusty Bianchi LG-Lite 120th Anniversary with full carbon Campagnolo Record groupset and Campagnolo Euros wheels , envious me ? to bloody right

The same thing that has irked me for last 10 days, and the next few weeks. Can't ride due to shoulder surgery, arm in sling and trussed up like a turkey. Oh joy.

The nutter using a front light on strobe last Friday, offroad, in the middle of a forest!
