Minor rant here, and it really is a minority as most riders are polite and sensible.
Anyway, I was out for a walk earlier with the wife, and we stopped at the Leith Hill tower for a cup of tea. It was lunchtime and pretty busy, although an orderly queue had formed which stretched out towards the eastern approach path. Two utter muppets (stormtroopers on enduro bikes as it happens) decided they would ride from the back of the tower area towards the queue and make everyone part so they could get through to continue their gnar-filled activities. Going around the other way which was clear, or simply walking and pushing the bike through the line of people with a polite “Excuse me” would have been far more sensible and civilised. As it was, you both came across as arrogant idiots and give all riders a bad name.
We’re lucky to have such a wonderful area to ride in, and on a nice sunny and dry day like today it’s going to be busy in the ‘tourist areas’ so please let’s try and be nice to all users and ride sensibly and protect our ability to be there.
