Your cycling room 101. Bin your dislikes, however irrational, in here.

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...

For me, it's people who use granules to make gravy when there's a perfectly good roasting tin full of meat juices to use instead ...

Are zebra crossing different in Norway?

Or do you mean Toucans.

Don't know what they're called nowadays, but the black and white markings across the road, the same as what the Beatless famously walked over on Abbey Rd.

Tried to explain what a recovery shake was to my wife who proceeded to jump up and down and shake around.
"is this one?" she said.
so um, because of the mild embarrassment caused I'd like to consign the entire pre/during/post exertion snack industry into 101 and go for a glass of milk and banana.

Hills that go up. The ones that go down are fine, they can stay.
Oh, and headwinds. We definitely need to lose those.

Chav cyclists riding in hyena packs.

They're supposed to be cycling related, however superficially or peripherally.............

Yep, i saw that...afterwards

Oh, yes, those ones that don't have red lights for pedestrians, or anyone, but do have flashing orange beacons, and on which a pedestrian may step at any time to stop traffic (allowing a reasonable distance).

And which it is illegal to ride over anyway, as they are solely for pedestrians.

The lights with red and green men are Pelicans. Or Puffins if they are the annoying ones with the green and red men on a box next to you instead of over the road.

Toucans allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross, and Pegasus crossings are for ridden horses.

I think I'll opt for 'people with an unnatural pedantic knowledge of pedestrian crossings'

Just the markings in the road (out in the suburbs) and no flashing orange light.

And which it is illegal to ride over anyway, as they are solely for pedestrians.

My point exactly.

Isn't Belisha as in Balisha beacon a lovely word?

Talking of which did anyone listen to Bicycle Music on Radio 4 yesterday? I never knew that bloomers came from Amelia Bloomer. Fascinating stuff.

Did she make bread, as well?
