My Profile 		Im a regular cyclist to and from work and have to deal with rush hour traffic but what annoys you the most when you are cycling (other than trying to kill you and ignoring you exist)? one of mine is when you are on a narrow road and cycling up a hill and they get stuck behind you then decide to beep........what the *beep* am i supposed to do, go in the gutter? i bet there are some more we can all identify with!

My Profile 		Just my opinion but I don't think this thread will help, after all we are all cyclists and some of us are part time motorists also and because of that probably have a little more awareness when passing a cyclist. But the thread could just alienate folk more against cyclists if we are portrayed as a bunch of road users with a grievance against car drivers. Lets all get along!

My Profile 		IMHO, and speaking as a professional and social motorist, and a cyclist, I couldnt agree more with that txbnet. Spending so much time on the road in all capacities I often become complacent and think that I have seen it all. Then a road user comes along and completely stupifies me with the stunts they pull. I say road user because this includes cyclists. Theres good and bad in all socio-groups, so please lets not start a witch hunt. I'm all for an easy life so lets put the guns back in the cupboard..
