I think that cunts per square mile would me a more useful unit, London wins that anyway.
But most of them use the Tube and the traffic speed reduces incidents of cuntishness as revenge can be delivered.
High Wycombe actually wins most angry cunts behind the wheel per k of road and most likely to drive into you intentionally in a hot hatch.

SW of London wins the title of most expensive cars likely to be aimed at you intentionally.

City of London, London. Anytime between 8am and 7pm

Sheffield has a curious cpm to terrain ratio (relatively few cunts; hills of bastardly proportions), which makes it a physically difficult place to ride, but you can at least ride in relative peace.
How about a scorecard system? CMP (out of 5) + terrain (out of 5) = difficulty rating.
Sheffield: C(1) + T(5) = 6
Sheffield has bike polo, so the cunt factor has to be at least 2, possibly 3. -

Now your cunt in a provincial city is a totally different animal. Hardened by economic decline this brings out a form of cuntedness which can not be surpassed.
My vote goes to Norwich. (Never been there though)
Norwich is actually pretty decent to ride in, and most the people are pretty nice. Contrary to popular belief, Norwich is actually quite a nice place.
Now, Sunderland, that's fucking shit. I go to uni and ride there, and the people are proper cunty, plus it's ridiculously cold windy all the time. I've been going to uni there for just over 2 years, and have not seen one fixed gear or single speed - It's a completely alien concept to them. Plus no-one seems to ride on the road, they just hog the footpaths on their shitty rat bikes

I'd settle for all roads uphill in both directions if you could ride them cunt free...

Harps is partly right about Norwich. Legend has it there's a pub for every day of the year. Nice. Flatish, and lots of cyclists. There are some hard fighty cunts there though, watch your back in town on Friday night. Like any provincial town centre.
I reckon Milton Keynes would be a shitty place to be a HHSB rider. You gonna get run over quick there on the millions of 60 mph roads. Or ride the cycle network and feel like you're totally alone til you get jumped by some 13yr olds on their estate.
It's a post apocalyptic Fahrenheit 451 world. And no-one walks or cycles anywhere.

Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen - all fucking hellish

My vote's for Bristol. If you don't know your way around (as I didn't) it's far too easy to be at the bottom of a massive hill.
Edinburgh is similar but less hilly and more cobbly (also don't know my way around). Glasgow's just wet all the time (though not today so far).

I second all of the comments about Norwich - lovely terrain, lots of nice fgss people, but you'll probably get some abuse on the 'clubby' streets, although I'd expect from anywhere really.
I can also attest to the fact that riding on Milton Keynes' main roads is fucking awful.

Another vote for Norwich as a nice city to cycle in.
Lots of ways to get away from the main roads, flattish, lots of 'watering holes'.
BTW. Margate is definitely NOT a city.

Margate, town of cunts, being out of the running, I'll see your Norwich and I'll raise you Dover... hills like fuck and more cunts than people.

gotta be Chipping Norton, either that or Leighton Buzzard
I'm almost ashamed to admit I'm from Chipping Norton, it's not exactly a rough manor but it's pretty hilly and full of Cotswold Cunts in range rovers blasting down country lanes, and the nearest LBS is 90 minutes ride away, I'd say it deserves a place in the 'riding fixed here is a bit daft' hall of fame.

Definitely Leeds... All the above plus the Dales, the Lakes, the Moors, the
pre-historic road surfaces and the drinking like men... -
• #41
Full of yorkshiremen too.

Newport. Train station – Track. Running braklez on track gearing in a foreign country. Dodge the flying chips/children/dogs/litter, do your laps and don't miss your train!

I once heard it described as "the armpit of Great Britain".

Plymouth must be up there.
So fecking hilly. Plus full of MaxPower reading chavs driving XR2s off their tits on cider.

Milton Keynes redways are OK if you know where you're going - but too often they are full of glass, loose dogs being walked, and anti-social teenagers
the grid roads? horrible - prepare your will

This can only be settled with a massed tour of all the shittiest suggestions and then a final vote.

Never been there myself, but girl is voting Scunthorpe...

Surely this all depends to a certain extend on how experienced you are at riding fixed no?

Are we discussing hardest as in toughest to ride or most likely to get shanked?
