So it's saturday morning, I've flogged me boat and I'm trailing it over to whitstable, with the breadknife also in tow, long story cut short but difficulty overtaking with trailer, wimmen in 4x4's not wanting to disturb the poor bikers, it's taking ages down this road. Sure enough there they were, two abreast, then begrudgingly staggered, not single file, one still mincing some distance out in the road so by the time I got to take them once the road was clear, we're damn near half way into Canterbury.

He's in a pink shirt, lycra, spd's full 'don't come near me I'm a cycling queen' attitude, but I eventually pass safely and continue on my way, we're not gunning it, what with the boat on the back, so next up comes frikken lights on amber so I slow and stop, moments later there they are again, gone past and now they're in front again, both on my nearside wing.

Now I'm not wanting another bloody procession and ages before I can safely pass, so I nosed forward just a tad. The Queen doesn't like this so moves out and plants herself square in front of the truck of joy.
Now, a little about the truck, it's a chevy diesel and I did have a decent sound device fitted from the outset, something designed specifically with roadies in mind, for when I might miss clipping them with the wing mirrors, anyway just as she's shifting out in front the lights change, so I gave the button of aural pleasure a resounding smack, she jumps out of her skin, itself a rewarding experience, gives me a death glare, I road rage gesticulate in my best get the **** out of the way, can't you see I've got a trailer', followed by the bird and we go safely on our way, only to notice the tosser turning right anyway so totally on the wrong side of the frigging lights.

Now that would have been fine, but for the breadknife who clearly feeling fiesty, starts on at [i]me[/i] about being inconsiderate, not embarrassing her, people like me should be banned from the roads, they were just innocent blokes out for a ride, my ears are bleeding time I'm at whitstable.

I ****ing hate road bikers and what's with them riding 'Specialised' how can any self respecting trail rider support a brand that sells road bikes, obviously I've spent too much time in my cave and missed the noughties or whenever it was they turned traitor...

how about reading the fing highway code, flog your truck your a fwit and hand your licence back. Learn to understnad that your a driver and that the road does not exsit for your sole f***ing use. Now **** off back under your bridge.

Still, everything he did was completely valid. Roadies have no place on the planet, let alone road.

I think this is the same guy that got banned for being a raving homophobic.

Go and take a long walk off a short pier.

EDIT: And I wish Transition would think twice about using you as an International Distributor

Is this going to remain an empty threat, or are you going to do something about it?
Your or you're? I'll let you off as you're a bit wound up on this one... 😉

I just want to flush you roadie **** out and let you know you don't own the ****ing road and not to ride two abreast whilst I'm trailing a boat O.K. and wtf are you doing on a trail bike forum anyway?

I can see where the confusion came from, but this is a road forum.

Let me know the next time you're out in the prickmobile and I'll adjust my riding accordingly.
Equally when I'm out in the sports car you'll be kind enough to get your lardy arsed 4X4 and trailer out of my f**g way, no?

Calm down, GRF, it's only a commercial. FWIW, I used to ride road bikes, back in the dim and distant past. We used to just call them 'bikes' back then though, as mountain bikes hadnt been invented. I'll agree with you that it can get a bit annoying when youre trying to get past a club run or whatever, but try and lose the homophobic attitude, you do yourself no favours. And whats the 'breadknife in tow'?

I've got a boat.

I would rather have a goat.

Except it wouldn't float.

That's why I have a boat.

I'll get my coat.

you're driving a 4x4, towing a boat. you're not really in any position to talk about holding up traffic, or being a cock.

I think it's more about looking elegant while holding up traffic. A nice hat. A tie perhaps. Not pink though.

I particularly enjoyed GRF's use of the term 'botty hugging lycra'. This, coupled with his apparent fear of the colour pink, makes me think he has some issues to deal with... Come on feller, hug it out 😀

Don't understand why you're flaming so much today kids. If he was causing delays then I'm sure he would pull I've to let other users by. Highway code says you shouldn't ride more than two abreast uncertain locations and in this instance they sound like they were in the wrong. Don't paint all roadies in the wrong light though

Isn't this the same chap who caused a stir RE SPDs not so long back? Then served a significant ban IIRC. Can see this going the same way.
Knows how to push the buttons doesn't he?

But there's no mention of Graeme being homophobic in his LinkedIn profile 🙂

Is he homophobic?
