The summer riders were out in force today in the Peak District!

[G]

Amusingly I never even mentioned a stereotype in my first post!!! Just the fact that all the summer riders were out on one of te first nice days of the year... It's everyone else that's jumped on the bandwagon!

Lol, don't you just love forums

I think I actually started it with my tongue in cheek comment at the start

Came close to going out for a play on Snake's pass today. Sounds like I made the right call in giving it a miss. I don't like it much at weekends when you have the inept and over-confident out in large numbers. I prefer weeknights out of season = no enforcement, less traffic and none of the part-timers crashing into you.

Probably the only stereotype truly present on this thread is the pure definition small man syndrome not from you I will add.

Weekdays are the best I love my drive back from Manchester on thursday evenings... Empty roads perfect.

I've seen plenty of dumb things like bad overtakes etc done by the non weekend warrior type just as I have seen plenty of dumb thing done by the weekend warriors.
The main arguement is against stupid/inconsiderate riders and drivers unfortunately there will always be people like that whether they're on a 'ped, commuter hack, latest and greatest sports bike, taxi, White van, BMW or whatever.
Some people are just dumb and that's what it pretty much boils down to I reckon.

Well G, you trolled, you got a reaction... well done.

What's next, a post about tyre choice or oil?

Funnily enough, on my commute into London tonight there were a load of bikes on the road, I think it must have been a club rideout though, lots of hi-vis gear, impeccable indications and generally well ridden.

Then I get into London and have a guy on an L plate scooter climbing all over the back of me from Limehouse Link to Lower Thames Street (quite a few miles). Although I'm sure his bum left the seat when I opened the throttle a little bit on one of his overtaking manoevres and he got a faceful of my MOT-advisory exhaust note

Doesn't that make you the pillock?

I've had people deliberately hold me up before and it just incites me to do something which will make them sh*t themselves when they least expect it.

I wasn't holding anyone up, every time I pulled away from lights I had this damn thing flat out trying to overtake me!
