Some people enjoy very boring things too

Boring things that are a danger to the public, swan around at a glacial place, demand space, demand silence and excrete without any attempt to clean up?

i like seeing a horse on the trail, sometimes you get to pet them and ask their name.

same with dogs, and walkers, it's all good, as long as people are not in cars

leave toddlers out of this

Ah got to love the smell of elitism/classism

Kids are the least predictable of everything. Minds of their own!

Only things that need banning from the countryside are influencers

we should ban cunts who point out that its a footpath in middle of nowhere with no other pedestrians and the 'width' of the said path is 20 feet+

I generally put on a thick Indian accent and cite ignorance

and we need to ban 'private land' signs too

just ban england imo

its the best country to live in for diversity

silence

Wait, I always get told off by horse riders for being too quiet. Am I doing it wrong? It seems there is no pleasing horses. Not to mention that they are fucking huge and terrifying. Better just to stick with an Arkose.

And that usually comes after you're already quite annoyed for having had to juggle the bike through gates/hauled it over a slippery wonky stile

I'm trying that next time

Never stop to talk to anyone, ever. It's always get off my land, this is only for walkers etc. Like in the road, assume everyone is hostile.

What if one rides offroad just to escape that?

Be so overwhelmingly fucking friendly that they get scared and leave you alone

Then bury them in a ditch anyway

It is usually my approach.. Still get told off a lot

1. Horses are ok, they are only briefly ridden on the road between safe places where they can go fast
   
2. Their shit is not toxic like dogshit
   
3. Dogs are stinking rat bastards for people who can’t smell dogs and like playing with dogshit
   
4. Got the full farmer nutnut stick waving chasing me across a field experience this week as I walked my bike eating a sandwich. Apparently you can’t push a bike on farmer nutnut’s field despite the public footpath Look out for a Strava segment called “anger issues” CSB
   
   

Are you talking sense on the gravel thread?

You feelin' ok?

My approach is to slow right down and say something, like "good morning" and ride as far away from them as possible. I've never had any grief from horsey types.

But I also pass safely on canal paths and I've seen cunts riding around blind bends at 40kph, so there's clearly arsehats out there that need a slap (or kick in the head by a horse).

Definitely riding the fuck out of that. In fact, it sounds like the perfect place to do my ultra mtb training, cutting laps for 48hrs straight just for the LOLs.

I just ride off-road to escape people.
