Spring Sportive entrants caused “pandemonium" 18 cyclists barred from events

Proof positive of how deliberately offensive some cyclists are.

BEHAVE or else!
That’s the message to people taking part in mass cycling events in the
New Forest after 18 riders were banned for a variety of acts– including
urinating by the side of the road.

Organisers of the Wiggle New Forest Spring Sportive launched a crackdown
after riders ignored the toilets provided and relieved themselves in
front of villagers.

The riders have been barred from all future rides – and similar action
is likely to be taken against anyone else who flouts the rules.

The cyclists caught urinating were spotted outside the Forest Park Hotel
in Brockenhurst. The road was blocked by people who had abandoned their
cycles in the middle of the road. And some of them were urinating in
full view of families – even though there were toilets only a few feet
away.

“I hope the ban sends out a clear message that we expect people to behave.”

Martin Barden, of UK Cycling Events, said: “The hotel had eight
portaloos and our marshals told all riders stopping at the hotel to
ensure they used the toilets provided.

“Anyone who decided not to was instantly banned from the event as this
is not something we condone.”

Mr Barden has not revealed why any of the other cyclists were barred but
before the event he warned that anyone caught blocking the road by
cycling two, three or four abreast would be disqualified.

The Wiggle - eh?

I wonder if Mr Crispin will be entering - he does do rather a nice one.

I see they can't even spell properly - in the photograph of the finishing
post they have misspelt their mantra by omitting the letter "R".
It actually spells "wiggle", when of course it should have been "wriggle".

Riding a bicycle and sexual offending seem very closely linked.
