Erm, I wouldn't call SS riders cunts. We all like riding and if you ride SS, gears, whatever it's fine. The SS people that ride without a rear brake I would call stupid, but that's just my opinion.
Wanna know who are cunts? The "serious" cyclists. The ones with all the dayglo lycra shit who get in my way. A typical scenario is something like this:
I pass dayglo twat who is riding slow at a stupid cadence. He then shifts gear, pedals like a mental and overtakes me. As soon as he has done that, he STOPS PEDALLING. Then he rolls along in front of me blocking up the gaps I would have taken.
Case in point, Tower Bridge. This happens to me a lot, Tower Bridge is really slow traffic and I often overtake cars going South. However, there is always some idiot on an all-carbon bike or similar trying to prove himself. So he overtakes, then freewheels down the other side, closing up the gaps. Soooo annoying.
