Re: The joys of cycling

My pet hate regarding cyclist is the ones who hold up traffic on a busy road when it would be unsafe to overtake them. You finally get past and then the next set of traffic lights they just cross regardless of red or green and hold you up all over again.
Even the responsible ones who do stop at red ride all the way to the front and sit in front of you over again.
The red paint on the road with a picture of a bike at the traffic lights only serves to encourage them. That should say "no cyclists".
I've done my share of cycling even having a week touring and got as far as Aberystwyth.
Once I found out feet were for Clutch, brake and accelerator I gave it up and made life easier. Even easier in about 1975 when I decided I had enough of gear changing and have had automatic gear changing cars ever since.
Tax and insurance plus registration should be a legal requirement for cyclist.

Rant over, jam butty and pop time.
