i have no beef with 99% of cyclists. we should all aspire to be cyclists. but those guys with youtube channels who upload 50 ‘incidents’ a week > https://www.youtube.com/user/CycleDub

There is a really long, windy, steep hill near me called Succombs Hill, which has a 25% gradient. I once got stuck behind a cyclist who decided to cycle up it. It’s a narrow road with not much chance of over taking on it. So the traffic was forced to go up doing about 5mph. I stalled in the steepest bit, which was a right pain as my hill starts were shit. I take the longer flatter route now, and avoid that hill.

I guess they saw it as challenge.

Here is someone cycling down it.

foreboding

Hills like that belong to cyclists - drivers should know better than to drive up our roads

I haven’t since that day, I do the more scenic long route through Woldingham. I now have a phobia over driving up that hill.

I hate driving on very narrow country lanes too (cyclists or no cyclists) - had a couple of occasions where sat navs have sent me on crazy narrow/ steep lanes when there was probably a perfectly good A road I could have been following

cyclists are drawn to them like flys on shit though

not really keen on any cyclist who hasn’t released their hobby should be confined to mountains

same as when there’s loads of bloody traffic on single track country roads: WHY ARE YOU OUT AT 9AM ON A SUNDAY THIS IS OUR TIME FOR FUCKS SAKE

5mph is pretty good going on a 25% gradient, fair play to the cyclist.

edit: also fucking lol you’re in a car and stalled because you’re rubbish at driving up a hill whaddadick

I like how they don’t mention it that that much, like vegetarians.

This is endemic in Bristol. Twats everywhere.

We had one of these jokers claim he’d been hit by one of our lorries and sent a video in. Obviously there was nothing doing in the video but that was because the trailer ‘had only clipped him’. Mate -you get hit by a lorry, you’re staying hit.

5mph was probably an over statement tbf.

And fuck you, pal

In QLD you’re allowed to cycle on the pavement and I wear a hi-vis top and cycle on it.

How about that?

Riding on the pavement.
Going through red traffic lights.
Running down pedestrians.
Sense of entitlement.

One for the “underrated posts” thread
