Why are "Walkers" miserable gits

[andrewsmith]

Reading this thread has had me in fits of laughter!

I know the arguements with this, around Kielder bike get hacky looks once you go north of the visitor centre. For the record kielder to Carter Bar heading north is biking country in good weather

must just be a south of the border thing as every hiker, walker or rambler i have come across have been nice people. what gets my goat is those feckin Tour de France gits who ride 3 abreast and take up all the road and wonder why people dont like them. dont get me wrong i'm all for people going out cycling but those asswipes take the biscuit. what kind of mentality does it take when your cycling on a busy road 3 abreast and holding traffic up and think your dong nothing wrong.

ooohhh wait a minute you said Bolton. that explains it, its in Yorkshire everyone's a miserable git down there.









runs and hides.

You can run, but you cannot.......



.......hang on. I suppose you already have hidden. Damn you canny Scots.

We don't stand a chance of finding him, even with clues, if he thinks Bolton is in Yorkshire...

Despite that slight, he has a point though... coming across the pelaton isn't the nicest thing when you're enjoying a nice stretch of derestricted B road. They really don't like it when you're forced into the gaps between them either.

If you go to the Peak District in summer, you can be 10 miles from the nearest road... but you still sadly hear the constant drone of traffic, with every 5 seconds the scream of an IL4.

In reality that is pretty sad... so if your a die hard country bumpkin trying to find peace and quite then you can see why they may be miserable.
