Pet hates when out riding

[aceuggy 0]

What is it that irritates you when you are out and about on your bike? Here's a short list of my pet hates, I'm sure there are loads more I have missed.

1. People that use their windscreen wash when I'm riding behind them
2. Banding on the road where the road has been repaired. It's always excactly on my riding line.
3. People on their mobile while driving.
4. People that creep into roundabouts as I'm riding round. I find that quite intimidating.
5. People that hug the centre of the road in an attempt to stop me overtaking. Why? It only delays the inevitable!

Tailgaters on the motorway

Oh I have got some more
1 People who are still indicating right on a roundabout and then turn left causing you to stop.
2 Drain covers set on the line bikes need to take and no non slip on them making them lethel in the wet.
3 Drain covers set deep below the road level

4 old people who should not be driving any more pulling out in front of you because they did not see you and creeping down the road at 25mph

5 shit flying off rubbish Lorries and spray off the wheels on the artic's

6 Traffic light jumpers

I can go on :-(

Doesn't this one belong in the 'bike faux-pas' thread? I agree with you as it happens, but it's their time/money and at least there isn't an EU directive against it (yet)

I have to admit that they do appear on my personal bike-buying checklist of things to avoid if possible - not in the "run away" column, but in the "must be cheaper to make up for it" bit
