Fucking Nodders!

Fuck you!

I was in Brockwell Park with another forumite yesterday, and it was surprising to see so many people, mainly men, doing laps of the park on a shared use path.

There's a running track near by. I play touch rugby on the pitch in the middle, and have used the soft running surface to teach my kids to cycle. When its not being used of course.

Now every Tuesday night, I'm there playing touch, and these two portly middle aged men turn up. Riding what used to be road bikes. But now have terribly lowered saddles, spacer stacks, and flat MTB pedals. They do lap after lap. Nearly always in the opposite direction to the training track runners.

I honestly think they're learning to ride these new bikes. Part of me salutes them for getting off the couch, and starting an active hobby.

.....most of me simply dreads the day they start sharing the road with me.
