That’s a tough one because of how ignorant motorists are towards cyclists!
Han't checked back but has anyone had...
 
People Who Cycle On The Pavement.
As a cyclist I can agree with you. Only children should be aloud to cycle on walkways and road users should be more respectful of a cyclists space.

I am a courteous cyclist and do my best to never hold up traffic. I'll often pull in on country lanes if a queue is building up behind me.

many cycle paths are not fit for purpose. . Designed by numpties and often dangerous to ride on.. 

Yes my gripe with our local cycle paths is that they terminate at roundabouts and the traffic doen't allow you to cross so it is better to stay in the road lane to get over the roundabout.

I have no problem with that, what I do have a problem with is people who cycle on the road and hold up the traffic when there’s a cycle path right there 


Part of the problem is that many road users don’t realise that if you’re going over 18mph you’re supposed to use the roads and not cycle paths.

Cycle paths are more for kids and slower riders.

Mmm, Supermarkets - People who leave their trolley bang in  the middle of the aisle blocking it and then dither about what they are buying. I get to the point where I side swipe them with my trolley and carry on walking apologizing profusely through gritted teeth.

People who walk excessively slowly down narrow shop aisles - we are not talking disabled or very old people either!! I usually start slapping my feet down on the ground as I walk, it sort of unnerves them a bit:thumbup:

I put a big armful of extra shopping in their trolleys whilst they are dithering . Sometimes they don't notice , other times they look around puzzled thinking they now have the wrong trolley and WhereTF is theirs ?  xD
