Default “be somewhere else” to avoid anti-social cyclists

Sounds like next year there will be pitchforks and drawing pins everywhere.
while the first Dunwich Dynamos passed without notice, recent events had
grown too big. Now, thousands of cyclists took part, causing “hour after
hour” of disturbance.
Others living along the route have also complained about a minority of
cyclists making noise, listening to loud music and urinating on their
property.

Interesting comments from the locals about scum cyclists.

I agree that is uncalled for.
There is enough there for the cops and others to act.

The locals have to do more than comment.
Events like this can be organised properly and the organisers held to
account --

I assume these residents never drive after sunset.
Curious that your first thought was criminal damage and violence, says something about you and motorists in general.

A single tack on the road, and the response should be slashed tyres and
broken car windscreens.

I think I might fly to Britain next year, to take part in this. I do
wonder if our brave trolls will make an appearance.. .

When motorists do it (and worse) daily, not just once a year, it's still
wrong when cyclists do it?

I bet the whingers made a special effort to stay up all night and twitch
their curtains. It's amazing that nobody was inventive enough to make up
stories about "racing" through the village at 40mph, defaced memorials,
roses getting trampled on and finding a dump in the middle of their lawn.

As I write, there is a fete going on in the green space over the road.
We've had hour after hour of disturbance. Abandoned vehicles blocking
the road, fetists making a noise, music and the continuous clatter of an
ice cream van delivering noxious diesel fumes over my property.

I suppose it's nothing to complain about, after all, it's not cyclists.

So you *own* that "green space over the road", do you?
