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.

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.

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.

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

So I am torn.

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