Here's two to start with.

1. Cyclists who use North Road and obstruct traffic in the morning rush hour when there's a cycle path the full length of it.

2. Motorists who hog the outside lane of North Road for almost it's entire length, travelling at 26mph before pulling into the inside lane when they reach the Civic Centre.

C'mon! you drive a left hooker. Start smoking cigars and stub it out on the lycra clad arse as you pass!

BTW, T350 has gone (oh how I miss the noise!). Now in a silver SLK. So if you see a hairdresser lookalike waving furiously... don't think you've pulled... it's just me!... and give it some gas!

Sounds to me like you've never ridden a bike on a cycle path! Most cycle paths are strewn with even more broken bottles/debris than the road. Bad enough on a mountain bike but if you're on a racing bike with ultrathin tyres at 120psi it's simply a no no. Also usually loads of kerbs to negotiate which means you keep needing to slow right down and even then risk damaging expensive wheels/tyres.

We'll be in the silver Type R coming the other way most mornings, Z28 on others. I think I've seen the SLK. Nice car.

Seen the way they've extended the 40mph limit northbound by half a mile?

Nothing to do with making more bridges available for scamera vans is it?

Must be to protect the pedestrians.

Hey Mike, I understand you have a beef with Ikea?


Anyhow. All the flipping lights that Bridgend council got in a job lot and installed in the name of saftey.

As a cyclist, (also a motorist), those bloody motorist who throw their cigerette butts out of the window, which no doubt also pisses off motorcyclist as well.

Saw you this morning on the bridge near Lidl.

Monster sound! I was still smiling when I got to Caerphilly.


Right, all I need is a V8 and some straight through pipes for the Merc.

Chequebook please, nurse!

Pedestrians in School Hill Aberdeen. The Pedestrian lights go to red, so obviously you stop to let them cross the road.

Their "Green" light starts to flash, so obviously those on the crossing, continue to cross, then the "RED" light comes, and still they bloody well start to cross.

Finally when my light is "Green" I often nudge forward to be greated by icy stares from those bloody pedestrians who are STILL steping onto the crossing.

These not only irritates drivers, it slows up traffic flow, and do the police prosectute the pedistrians, so the hell, but dare you tap one with your car.....

In these days of "higher" education, using the term mildly, that doesnt surprise me.

My daughter, bless her, went with the school to Italy when she was 13, I enquired if she knew where Italy was "Near Brazil" she said.......
