I saw pretty much every type of behaviour exhibited in this thread on a 45 minute ride around SW London today. My fault for not checking there was a massive charity ride, a 7000 competitor duathlon in RP as well as another duathlon in C. London. Carnage, chaotic and farcical are words that come to mind. Huge pelotons of riders, saddles about 6 inches too low, weaving and swerving randomly around the road. Roadies and triathletes giving it the 'I'm a serious cyclist' look while riding like utter tools. Combined with the huge numbers of drivers who decide sunday is a good day to get in the car and drive to a busy town centre. Despair.
