AIBU to find cyclists annoying

[MumOfTheNorth]

This probably is unreasonable but I just find cyclists so annoying. Not saying every cyclist does every one of these things. It just seems to happen a lot. Am I the only one that gets this irrational irritation?

What I find annoying...

• Taking up the whole road so you can't leave enough space to safely over take
• Weaving in and out of traffic
• Walking around cafes or the office in sweaty lycra with their click clacky shoes
• Running red lights when I'm trying to cross on a green man
• Cycling on the pavement
• Not tucking in on small country roads once in a while when there's a massive que of traffic behind them
• Having no lights or helmet on in the dark
• And most of all... talking to me about cycling

This is what it comes down to really, a fairly substantial proportion of people don't think cyclists should be on the roads.

You can argue until you're blue in the face about pollution, congestion, health, wellbeing, etc etc - there's no point. When OP said cyclists are 'annoying' this is a viewpoint that shades into 'shouldn't be permitted'.

Driving in my city is annoying due to congestion, cost of parking, tricky routes.

The bus costs more than driving and is inconvenient and smelly.

Cycling is good for my health, flexible, good for me - it's just spoiled sometimes by intolerant wankers who think I shouldn't be on the road.

You're the past though @TheShellBeach , there's no way the level of private car ownership will be the same in 10, 20, 30 years' time. And a good thing too.
