Despite being completely legal I have an irrational...

disliking for cyclists who do the following:

1. indicate to tun left but for some reason can't hold their arm out at a right angle, so dangle it to the floor as if pointing out a pot-hole :twisted:
2. wear massive baggy T-shirts that blow about in the wind
3. grind away at 11-12mph in 53/12 (Change the bloody gears! :twisted: :twisted: )
4. won't ride a straight line past intermittently parked cars and duck in and out of the gaps :twisted:
5. wrap coats and jackets around their waists :twisted:

Sorry. I did this on lower slopes of Hautacam in the Etape when the sun came out. Others have pointed out this error and that it shows my ignorance of the ways of the roadie. It was captured by the official photographer and to my shame will stay on the internet for ever. I also forgot to drink or toss my bottle contents before that last climb so carried a kilo of fluid up the bl**dy mountain.
