What winds you up about cyclists you may see when driving

[Ming the Merciless]

How care free and happy they look.

Cyclist smiling when riding in the rain and I am stuck in traffic. They are meant to be unhappy when it rains...

Cyclists on motorway bridges, as seen from the motorway. I hate them. I shake my fist at them. Who do they think they are?

Exactly that !!! Because mainly i'm having to work and battle the motorway while they're out riding........... !!!!

I assume that you have the good sense to leave the fist shaking until as late as possible, to reduce the chances of the overhead cyclist feeling the need to empty the contents of his/her mouth/nose over the side of the bridge at the opportune moment.

The fact that I am in a car and not on a bike .. that's what winds me up .

Adults cycling on the pavement for no obvious reason.
No lights, dark clothes etc at night.

 

[TyrannosaurusTreks]

Cyclist riding in the dark with no lights & wearing black clothing .
Really me

Is that.
No lights and dark clothing at the same time
or
no lights or no dark clothing as separate things that get you both upset?

 

[TyrannosaurusTreks]

Both, who is at fault when they get hit off the twats

 

[TyrannosaurusTreks]

Miss understanding
I mean lights are great but no lights & dark clothing no

It equally winds me up, when I'm out on bike

No lights, when dark (ditto, reflectors)

Dark clothing - sometimes there may be a hi-viz vest..... usually covered with a rucksack

Riding on pavements, obviously they think that circumstances like this will not happen to them (or they hit some OAP stepping out of his/her gate)

Riding through red-lights, zebra-crossings, as people walking over them

Weaving in & out of people in a pedestrianised area, & shouting at them to "F***in Move!!" (as sadly happens a lot, when I've not got a big stick that wants to make friends with their front wheel)

Gesticulating/swearing at anyone, who has the temerity to mention/challenge any of the above


Given where I work, like a few of the members on here (Paramedics/A&E staff/Police/'Trumpton'), I've seen far too many brought in, head-blocked on a spinal board

It really winds me up when they argue back and they don't even who they're talking to.

Even better police cars pass them & do nothing

Threads like this get me a bit wound up, actually. Reading it is like stepping into a motoring forum. And no (before someone says it), I won't comment again in this thread.

They were only doing that as your car bonnet was inches off their back wheel at the time.
