Why do some cyclists feel the need to try and give it the big I am, passive aggressive “morning” etc.Then a way too close pass?

    Normally I just go out and do my ride, and couldn’t give a monkeys about anyone else’s ride. I don’t know their circumstances, I don’t want to know. However there seems to be a (minority admittedly) of complete baw bags, who just have to try and be a ‘hero’. I had a classic today on my ride. I became aware of a silent wheel sucker, on a bit of my ride earlier. The second I sat up to look at a road sign, he bloody nearly wiped me out with a ridiculous pass, then started to ride much slower than I was, before he tried to be a billy big balls. Normally I’d not give a hoot, but today, I decided to see how quick he really was, I properly lit the fires, and dropped him like a bad habit. It wasn’t so much the idiotic pass, but the look the douche bag tried to give me as he struggled past. Later on, I had another pair, who just couldn’t shut up. I guess it’s the five days of summer brigade B-)

    wheelsuckers annoy me
    wheelsuckers annoy me too

    Almost hit one in the face when i didn’t realise he was there and i stretched my arms backwards, think it gave him a little shock and he backed off lol

    Why do people think its acceptable to ride up behind someone and sit inches away from their rear tyre??

    Do it in a car and its called tailgating and can cause an accident

    Its just as dangerous on a bike imho especially if you have to avoid a pot hole or brake quickly for something in the road and the person sitting on your arse doesn’t have time to react and goes into the back of you

    Nothing wrong with being a miserable git 😀 😀

    I go out on my road bike to get away from people and have some peace and quiet, the last thing i want is to have complete strangers try and talk to me or every person i pass saying hello and taking offence when i don’t say hello back

    Talking to you or each other ?

    Aimed at me, I wanted to tell them to belt up, but I was suffering haribo legs at the end of the ride. It’s all good B-)

    You should have called the police.

    Or slammed the anchors on unexpectedly =))

    I think it’s because cyclists
    I think it’s because cyclists are a representative cross section of the population. Some people are dicks.

    Your wheelsucker probably
    Your wheelsucker probably cycles the same way he drives. Just be glad he wasn’t in his car.

    Take a deep breath.

    Relax.

    Afterwards dwell on the positives, not the negatives.
