The most fukcing annoying thing ever!  When I'm on the bike and I approach people, I shout (in a pleasant way ) "coming through" if I'm walking and people on bikes ring their bell more than one "ting" I totally ignore them it's as though they are saying "get out of the way"

The worst are the ones who silently flash past you, you don't know they are there ffs.

Have threatened to put the lead and coupling through a few spokes over the years, especially when people on bikes say "your dog should be on a lead" on a fecking bridleway bikes are supposed to give way to everything else, horses, dogs, pedestrians etc.

Electric bikes are absolutely shite as they allow dicks who wouldn't normally be on bikes to roam the trails around where I live.

Cnuts

Nothing as bad as been nearly at the top of a real grueller of a climb on the mtb and some fat cnut on a emtb pedals past as fresh as paint. Lol. Doesn't do the fatties any good on the way down though. Lol.

Do you have a bell on your bicycle? Handy things to have when approaching from behind. Dogs could be old and deaf, people could old and deaf and blind and f****d. Warning from dicks on bicycles  before passing very close is welcomed and recommended. 

The problem is people jump out of their skin whether you sound your bell or give a warning shout from way back. I cycle on quiet country roads and people are either talking to each other or in world of their own and are startled whatever noise you make.

I've always had a bike but never in a club. I like my own company on a bike.A few years back I pushed a mountain bike up Skiddaw and freewheeled slowly  down. On the lower slopes keen mountain bikers said to me " you must be mad"  I had no helmet or any proper gear. Sounds like I'm coming the big I Am but honestly I just didn't know the score. I enjoyed it anyway. I suppose I could have broken something but sheer amaterishnees is sometimes a good thing.

At the minimum a lid is always a good idea, but fair play to you for just saying Fcuk it and doing it.

Fair comment. Some people these days are incompetent at everything they do, whether peddling a bicycle or walking along a track. I always say a "thank you" when cyclists have given me a warning before they pass from behind. Some stop as they think I am being sarcastic or "trying to be funny mate?". I explain that it is genuine appreciation and gratitude. Have had a few chats when the cyclist does not know whether to ring the bell or give verbal warning or not as it can provoke a negative reaction from the non-cyclist. Can't do right for fear of doing wrong kind of thing. My advice to them is for decent, sane, polite people on carry to behaving in the way that they know to be decent, sane and polite and f##k everybody else.

There are some arseholes about. I stopped my car on a quiet country road to give a cyclist the right of way rather than squeeze past him at speed. He drew level  and said " there's plenty of room ". Complete dick.
