One issue I have with this thread is that complaints are constantly levied against a homogenised mass of so called 'Boris-biking, fluoro-clad, Cat 5 nodders'. The reality is that there are poor cyclists across the style spectrum, irrespective of the type of bicycle, clothing or sundry equipment an individual happens to sport. Heck, if you think Cat 5s are bad, you should see some of the dick moves pulled by Cat 3/4 riders in crit races.
I think this thread serves a useful purpose for identifying poor cycling and suggesting ways to tackle it, but I have come to the view that leaving out some of the name calling associated with it would be beneficial.
