Hey,
Was going to put this in 'cars & transport' but thought better of it as its not a question.
I want to say a big congratulations to all the cyclists who - like me - have been battling against the headwinds and gale-force conditions to get from A-to-B.
Am prompted to praise after being literally blown to a halt by a strong southwesterly gust that hit me directly as I cycled up a gentle gradient while getting home last evening.
The common theme among all the cyclists I've seen on my commutes this week is the gritty pedalling and use of low-gears.... needs must and all that.
Take a bow everyone (you know who you are). True cyclists understand how tough it is to overcome the air currents using human-powered transport and its been a long week of it!!

Thanks my thoughts exactly.... now if you could just ring all your weekend cycling club buddies and tell them not to cycle four abreast on a narrow road - it would be much appreciated! ...
Thanks my thoughts exactly.
BTW, why did two of you in succession feel it necessary to quote the original post in its entirety and then post one-liners as replies, five words in one case?
Its becoming common recently and I find it tedious in the extreme, clogging up the threads, ruining flow and readability.

annoying alright
Hear Hear! They're a major hazard on the narrow roads at the weekends and seem to delight in cycling four abreast to hold up the traffic behind them.Congratulations to one and all, now if you could just ring all your weekend cycling club buddies and tell them not to cycle four abreast on a narrow road - it would be much appreciated!
I think it's ok to knock down the ones on the outside... but you'll need to clarify that before trying it.Anyone know what the law is regarding cyclists, are they supposed to cycle in single file?

ASFIK it's single file. Can't say that's 100% law, but that's how I was taught. Still seeing as we're on requests (and to flame the motorist vs cyclist war), could you ask fellow motorists to:
1. not drive in the cycle lanes or cut into them early when turning left without doing the next point:
2. notice that some engineer at some point took the time to design a polished reflective surface and attach them to either side of the car. They even came up with a handy name for them "Mirrors", be nice if you used them occasionally.
3. we don't have to pay road tax, that's why we have to cycle in the bit with all the pot holes, glass, bricks, drains and other matter cause continuous damage to our bikes, try not to drive 1/4 inch from our handle bars, we sometimes need to avoid stuff like that.

So you'd prefer to try to pass a line of 10 pairs of cyclists, along a typical winding road where you can't see to the head of the line, rather than a bunch of 20 all together in a pack?From the :
"Don't ever cycle side-by-side with more than one cyclist."
It is permissible to cycle two abreast on the roads. Both cyclists and motorists should show consideration for each other i.e. cyclists should go in single file only when it is safe for following traffic to overtake.
