Out today in the car when I caught up with a bunch of cyclists riding
two
abreast on a quite B road. About twenty-thirty in number - with the
necessity
to overtake them all in one go as they were inconsiderate enough to
leave
no
gaps between themselves.

There was quite a build up of traffic as they waited/tried to overtake
them.

Of course when I overtook them I found it necessary to wash my
windscreen:
it
really is a pity the windscreen washers are so badly aligned. I would
guess
that something like 80% of them got their mandatory sun-shades
splattered

I passed a bunch of the ****s early this afternoon riding in exactly the
same way. They were doing their best to occupy as much of the width of
the
road as possible Again there were probably around 20+ of them.
Fortunately, I was travelling in the opposite direction so I wasn't
delayed
but there was quite a tailback of traffic behind them. Why don't they
stop
to allow faster traffic to pass? Don't they ever think about the
inconvenience caused to other people wanting to use the road? They are
nothing more that a moving roadblock. I was thinking after I passed them
that they were doing considerable harm to the reputation of cyclists.

This was on a minor road.

Extraordinary...

I too had need to drive today, and went to Royal Tonbridge Wells. I
saw no peloton of cyclists, and although I had to wait behind a
cyclist for a short while while it was too dangerous to overtake, it
didn't affect my journey time in any way as I was later delayed in
traffic.

The cyclist, on the other hand, didn't appear to experience any delay
whatsoever, and sailed past a queue of fuming cars and their drivers
and passengers.

Please excuse me then, I must have been mistaken. Maybe it was all a dream
and I was asleep in bed all Sunday afternoon.

That would be a plausible explanation.
