I hate cyclists
Some cunt decided to stop peddling and ride in the middle of the road the other day. I wanted to drive into him but there was a car infront of me :(

You shold try living in Cambridge then.
The students ride 2,3 or more abreast, often the wrong way down one way streets and outnumber cars 3 to 1. In the summer it gets worse with the arrival of the forins.

I remember being appalled by the fuckers when we went to that pub
No lights, wrong way up the road, no hand signals. I assume there's a good death rate amongst the feckless tits.

I ran into a group of about 5 about 20 years ago
coming round a blind corner on the wrong side of the road. Bloody scratched my van it did!

Now why exactly would you have a problem with him stopping pedalling?
are you his bloody fitness instructor?

Yes

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahah
Sorry.
'fitness instructor'
pfffffffffft.

I just drive behind him shouting at him
It's fun.

This was rather the response I was expecting.
I mean, I can understand a cyclist being in the middle of the road being annoying, but the order of the statement suggests that stopping pedalling was actually more annoying. Curious.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:09, archived)

Perhaps because stopping peddling slows you down?

( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:10, archived)

well, not necessarily it doesn't.
anyway, what's his speed got to do with the price of fish?

I'm guessing that what our resident spastic meant to say
was that a cyclist slowed down in the middle of the road, thus slowing all the cars behind the cyclist down as well.
( WormuIus, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:18, archived)

He was in the middle of the road
Therefore slowing down slows everyone else down. That annoyed me. Is that really a hard concept to get?
( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:19, archived)

It's like a person
but slower.
( WormuIus, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:22, archived)

No.
but the issue there is that he's in the middle of the road, not his speed.

I'm not sure what to make of this
1 - What the fuck does it matter if he freewheels ?
2 - I'm inherently defensive of cyclists as it's a fucking bastard cycling in traffic

But -

3 - He probably was a cunt, a lot of commuters and roadies are
4 - I cant see the fucking point in riding a bike on Tarmac and will never do it again unless under duress...

I think you forgot
"massive great leg-shaving flouncing Mary" before "cunt" when describing roadies.

London is full
of fucking LOOK AT ME I'VE SAWN MY HANDLEBARS DOWN AND MY BIKE HAS ONLY ONE GEAR cunts.

Posing about like fucking cunts. All the do is ride to a coffee shop and sit outside next to their "Gaycer" and fiddle with their iPhones.

A singlespeed bike is some sort of fucking fashion accessory it seems.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:13, archived)

Too fucking right
/have you seen this Shimano Alfine stuff? looks fucking wicked. 8 speed hub gear with the same ratio spread as a 24 speed, constant chain, no mechs, no gear duplication, shifting under full pedal pressure. Oh, Mama.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:19, archived)

No
I have not seen this.

Given my age (I think you're late 30's too arent you ?) I do have this nagging concern that bikes are going to be fucking AWESOME just as I get too fucking old to ride properly : (

I'm going to give one a blast at Glentress soon
I shall report back. But, yeah, you are right. Stuff I've seen change in 20 years mountain biking is scary. Mind, my 12 year old Explosif will still piss on most stuff you can buy these days so the advances aren't that major.

See above
There isn't a problem, apart from the fact that he was in the middle of the road and slowed down when he stopped peddling. At least move into the side.
( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:11, archived)

He has as much right to use the road as a car
but he is a cunt.

So I am torn.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 9:15, archived)

Not strictly true
Cars pay road tax, surely they have more of a right to be on the road.
