Cyclists Again

[pacharan]

Before I begin, I'd like to say that I'm a keen cyclist myself. In fact. I've just taken delivery of a Sustrans guide to routes in my local area that I intend to explore over Easter.

What annoys me is the growing trend for cyclists to cycle in a pelaton as though they're in the Tour de France.

Twice this week I've been stuck behind people doing this - on one occasion for more than 10 minutes making me late for an appointment as they never exceeded 25 mph.

Is it too much to ask for them to revert to a single file formation when there's a car on their tale?

[MarillionFan]

Oooo. I learnt a new word.

Oooo. I learnt a new word.

Car?

I knew that one already!

[MarillionFan]

Car?

I knew that one already!

Course you did.



Churchill Jnr showed you.

Last night I saw a cyclist try and get them killed by a motorbike. Cyclists are definetly the worst road users.

Some twunt car driver almost knocked me off the bike yesterday.

Approach roundabout. Wait. Car drives down to my right, indicates to turn left. I wait. He starts to turn slowly so I set off into the roundabout, the ******* twat then changes his mind pulls his wheel violently to the right back into the roundabout directly at me.

FFS! Missed me by inches.

Had load of these c***s on Sunday, some using a dedicated cycle path but many other in a pelaton using up the narrow main road.

What an amazing coincidence - That's the second time I've seen that word "pelaton" today!

[Lockhouse]

I cycle every day on my commute, from my house to the station and from Waterloo to The City (and back again).

I see some cyclists doing the most stupid things but I also see some car drivers behaving inconsiderately. Six of one etc...

I've come off badly twice in the last twelve months, once was my fault but the other time I was taken out by another cyclist....

Perhaps someone will spell it correctly for your third encounter
