You come into the countryside tearing up the trails and getting all gnarly!

You speed around blind bends in the woods without a care - taking out pensioners, dogs, kids and bimbling sunday walkers.

...and those chasing Strava segments - well you make my ruddy p!ss boil.

...and, and, and those 650b riders - we don't need our local trails to 'come alive' thank you very much.

Please get a nice sensible audax bike and stick to a sensible defined average speed!

Many a true word spoken in jest.

Its the cyclocross lot that are the worse, cutting through the mud with their skinny tyres and wiggling lycra shod bums at people as they pound the pedals up a hill, sooooo rude!

Because speed on a bike is fun and exciting legal and you rarely put others at risk. Mind you it does take effort and skill so speeding in a car is a lot easier if you are unfit or lack skill even my 85 year old mum can do that. Tad dangerous for other road users but who cares as long as she is having a giggle eh?

You've got to go fast to keep warm at this time of year.

Rubbish, you just increase the wind chill if you do that.

Not with a windstopper coat 😉

It's only ever slow cyclists that complain about people riding too fast...
