  • I know I can be criticised for some cycling choices ( helmet, breaks) but I am very aware of my surrounds.

    If you work on your fitness, hopefully you can avoid the break taking criticisms

  • ^saved me the trouble. ta.

  • That behaviour is standard on my commute. I'm one of the few who will drop back to let vehicles do their thing or slow down/stop to let vehicles emerge from side roads. Most of the time it seems like a waste as everybody else undertakes or overtakes.

    Cycle training - so very useful, but I consider myself a commuting newbie of 18 months.

    I've not had any cycle training* but it just seems retarded to undertake a vehicle indicating left.
    Frustrating for those of us waiting behind the vehicle though as we have to wait much longer whilst someone wobbles slowly in and out of the way. Getting trapped behind a large vehicle that is moving slowly because it is stuck behind a selfish nodder is a pet hate.

    *I have been driving for 8-9 years though.

  • Wait in primary in queue at traffic at lights --> get massive draft from vehicles in front of you as you cruise past all the twats who've scooted up the inside.

  • This.... then look at them quizzically as they do the old one footed scoot up the inside again at the next set of lights and repeat until you get pace on them and leave them a couple of junctions behind you.

    Using scooters as derny bikes on clear stretches of OKR is fun as are the buses going south on Warerloo Bridge

  • ^lies. I see you trackstanding at the front for all to see.

  • Doesn't work when they hold up the vehicle you're behind.

  • Unclip > trackstand due to increased ability to clip in quickly in crits and win the race to the first corner.

  • Doesn't work when they hold up the vehicle you're behind.

    Works fine. Just pass the nodder when the opportunity arises, still getting a massive draft.

  • Doesn't work when they hold up the vehicle you're behind.

    That's the bit where you bask in your own righteous indignation while making casual adjustments to helmet / bag strap etc.

  • I did a trackstand in a crit start too :|

  • what's the 'all the things' meme?
    "trackstand ALL the time". You've got a problem.

    Hah!

    Ha, I knew there had to be one mistake in that rant.

  • Ha, I knew there had to be one mistake in that rant.

    There was more than one.

    Nein!

  • Only place I don't trackstand is on an actual track. Its scary.
