Some of mine:-
Amber walled tyres. Hate the look of them :angry:
Cycling clothing with large manufacturer's logos and other large lettering inc team jerseys. I don't want to be a cycling advertising hoarding :whistle:
White socks: the higher up the calf, the worse it gets. The look is especially bad when worn with dark-coloured shoes :sad:
Displeasing asymmetry: both panniers on please, or none at all :wacko:
Helmets: make you look like a twat, especially when they're worn at a jaunty angle ;)
Rapha: good stuff (I have some), but, fully bedecked in it, again, makes you look like a twat........ I saw you in Condor cycles a few weeks back :blush:
Fixed wheel bikes with coloured chains a little tube for handlebars and no brakes grrrr :wub:

I'd go with the highlighted items as well. Not specifically cycling tops, but jumpers with BENCH or any other manufacturer splattered across them. Bleughh.

For me, minor waste. The wife's a nightmare, i just made Sunday dinner, her token gesture (and that's ok with me, it was my dinner) was to prepare the gravy. She put so much granules in the jug, i had to add so much water it'd have lasted a week. Pointless, i always tell her, she still always does it. (she's so good in so many other ways, i can forgive her, but it's mildly annoying all the same) Trivial eh ?

Traffic lights that stop you...when there's no-one there.

Adverts, or the quantity of them, they're becoming very intrusive...or is it just me.

Just a few, there's loads more if i think hard enough...

Cycling 101s...
Ridiculously clean chains and sprockets... get some crap on it, ffs.
Ditto people who won't take their bike out in the rain, or blow dry it and tuck it into bed if it's got wet.
Black cycling socks, white cycling socks, any kind of cycling socks with shorts, except trainer socks.
Obsession with time trialling. Almost anyone I meet who chats about cycling starts talking about how freaking fast they want to go, or try to convince me to go training along straight, traffic-laden A roads. Not my scene, maaan, give me country roads, quiet and solitude.

Animal print clothing (apart from Friesian Cow print).
Visible thongs... make me wanna puke
Women walking in heels which are too high for them to walk comfortably (or gracefully) in.
Joggers... they never look like they're enjoying themselves

is it supposed to be bike related?

People cycling in obviously the wrong gear.
Idiots who work in bike shops who seem to think that they're an authority on all things cycling.
People who post videos on YouTube of not so close passes and not so dangerous driving.
People who talk about how much their 'gear' cost.
