don't mind mamil's when they are in a line its when they take up all the road and think they are in the TDF that pizzes me off. its the attitude of them that really gets me. i admire any fool that wants to ride a pushbike for 30+miles. yes your a road user so the rules apply to you to.

Excellent, I found that well funny. True from the mates I know that cycle.
Bizarrely the mates that cycle the most are the fattest of my mates.
Dunno why, they cycle loads, maybe they stop more at Cafes en route than they tell me???
