Fair weather cyclists.
Ok, I will admit that I cycled to the station a lot less during the winter than I am doing now, but I have a helmet, a well-maintained bike, a proper reflective jacket etc etc. And I have a suitable bag: a rucksack.

There was this woman on a bike ahead of me this morning, wearing flipflops, a skirt and strappy top (ffs, it might be sunny, but it's not actually all that warm outside), who was carrying her handbag slung over one shoulder. No helmet, of course. The handbag kept slipping off her shoulder, and the sudden weight on her arm would cause her to wobble all over the road. She was going very slowly, and I couldn't overtake because there was a steady stream of traffic to our right. And when I finally overtook her, I stopped at some traffic lights, which she then weaved right through, so once I was able to move forward again, I had to go through the entire process again! Argh!

A small annoyance, to be fair, but it got my goat up...
