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

Gear indexing going out - grrr!

The local farmer who hoses all the sheep **** off his yard and onto the adjacent bridleway so it is permanently under about two inches of it.

Another vote for upward facing hills

Maybe it was the ride home today but I've got a few more to add to the ever growing list

• Councils who "Tidy" up cycle routes by decimating hedgerows leaving the path strewn with sticks, splinters and thorns
• People hailing buses as you pass, I really want to hi five them, it's a terrible itch that is only going to end in trouble
• The stupid people who run across the middle of busy main roads dragging their 4 year olds, and are surprised that there might be moving traffic (me & other cyclists
• My creaky front wheel

Add the grinniest grin you have and it's got to be done.

Reflectors attached to the spokes, a lot of bikes come fitted with them. People who have their helmet on backwards??? I have seen several, believe me.

and that reminds me...
People that wear helmet's tilted on the back of the head. If you do wear a helmet then at least read the instructions as to how to put the damn thing on properly.

People who wear helmets without the straps done up, or who dangle them from the handlebars.

Tossers who hold their mobile phones 'like jam tarts about to be eaten' whilst holding conversations thereupon.

(I travelled by train this evening )

Tossers.

I know the feeling. Just get yourself one of these. I have heard they are great. Ahem. Apparently. Silence mobile phone tossers on trains Hours of fun!

Smugness. Don't get me started on two-wheeled RLJs either....

 

[Psycolist]

Equipment snobs, especially those trying to sell thier snobbery. "It wont be any good unless you need a mortgage to be able to afford it " type comments from 'proffesionals' REALLY wind me up.

The person I pass every day, standing on the pedals to power her MTB up a hill in top gear at 5 mph, while the chain squeals like a freshly-buggered hamster.

Dog and horse shoot on cycle paths.

I did that on a ride once. I had stopped for a break and when I started, I felt something was wrong. I'd forgotten to do the straps up!

Red Light Jumpers get me, oh, and people on the train who stand there holding their bike the entire way. I have explained quite a lot of times to people how to successfully prop their bike up without it falling over. They all look at me like I've got two heads, so I don't bother now, the tossers.

Oh yes, and bike snobs.

In fact, cyclists, full stop!

Don't even get me started on MDB!!!
