Things I like about cycling:
- Not having to take public transport and suffer from people squishing me, talking loudly, listening to loud music, being intimidating etc
- Regular exercise
- The ability to move quite fast
- I can still do it after a pint, whereas I wouldn’t be able to operate a car
- It’s just fun
Things I dislike about cycling:
- Cyclists who come up behind you at lights then either cycle around you and through a red light or pull up in front of you, despite you being there first. These cyclists are invariably the slower ones, who you then end up passing again when the light goes green anyway.
- Cyclists who run red lights across your path when your light goes green.
- Cyclists who cannot cycle in a straight line.
- Car drivers who think they have more right to the road than cyclists (not true, they do not have right of way over cyclists)
- Pedestrians who step off curbs without looking, and particularly those who step unexpectedly into cycle lanes and then look at you like it’s you who should not be there.
