Last week we hired a couple of bikes and cycled a 28 mile round trip( on a resufaced dissued railway line in Cornwall).We were passed many times by some "Trendies"........full gear/expensive bikes etc, each time the different groups would shout "passing on the right..move over..coming through"!!When we asked them to slow down as many Seniors etc/a few dog walkers...we usually were met with abuse!I guess they drive like that too

.
SWMBO uses her bike every day and was not very pleased, put one of them RIGHT in his place

....no naughty words either.They give normal cyclists a really bad image.

when we have sold all our scrap motors, copper, and gold to the chinese, have no manufacturing left, and have become a third world country- this will be the least of our problems.
