What winds you up about cyclists you may see when driving

[screenman]

Ok, on the club ride on Sunday some geezer overtakes us in a mighty hurry on the flat, overtaking in slightly dodgy places on a narrow road. About 3 miles further on we all overtake him going up a fairly sharp hill .

Cyclists who are all show and no go.

He was doing 5 on 5 off.

Loosing things makes them slack.

Wouldn’t that be loosening?

Yes, loosing is what you let the dogs of war do.

Yeah we were 5 off when he overtook

Ah right, we are supposed to join in a bitch fest about our fellow cyclists from the point of view of a driver?

The OP's wish was to invite comment on what, from a driver's and cyclist's point of view, winds up drivers. Perfectly reasonable thread.

It's up to you if you want to join in the debate, or whether you'd prefer to do your usual sneering on the sideline with no actual point.

As the owner of three of the things, the only thing that keeps me awake at night is worrying whether or not the filter papers are going to compost.

How do you dispose of the grounds?

Fellow cyclists? This ain't Lord of the Rings. There is no fellowship, no league of wheelpersons.

Cyclists who have the most-coolest of facial expressions.

 

[mustang1]

Cyclists who defend other cyclists who have done something I don't agree with and proclaim "well at least they are riding a bike!" as if that admonishes them of all guilt.

I have to say, in London I see about the same number (at least it feels like it) of cars RLJ'ing as cyclists).

Never seen a motorcyclist rlj though.

I hate those cyclists who crash into my door when I open it. All the clattering and falling and moaning soon gets tedious.

 

[Vantage]

Self appointed 'staff members' who think they have the right to dictate what cyclists on the forum can post on threads they didn't start.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

When did cyclists start hating each other so much ? I don't recall it being like this before the internet.

Equating irritation with someone's behaviour with hatred is a tadge strong, no?
