How many Cyclists in Leeds are completely unaware that there is a road next to the pavement, and that I don't enjoy having to move out of my way to let them past? I'm happy to let 4 year olds who are cycling, accompanied by their parents, on the path, but most cyclists are old enough to use the roads, although I can understand if they've been banned from them since cyclists on the road decide that they don't have to obey traffic lights road signs et al. Or, even better, they realise that they can't run red lights, so steer onto the pavement to pass the lights, then back onto the road.
Also, lazy cyclists are annoying too. Catching my train back home, having just made it to the train with 30 seconds to spare, I have to stand in the middle of the doorway because a cyclist is in my usual space (OK, it was the cycle rack). But, to my annoyment, he got off the train (pushing in front of me, might I add and almost hitting me twice with his bike as he turned it round) at Burley Park station. That was an 8 minute train ride for what would have taken maybe 12 minutes on a bike and had him taking up a space that would have happily held 4-6 people just to save 5 or so minutes, assuming he only just got on the train. If he had waited for the train, it probably took longer than cycling.
What a wanker!
...OK, I'm done
