  • Lycra Loonies

    From Brian@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 3 14:07:03 2023
    Driving along a narrow B road about 2 hours ago, I encountered 2 lycra
    loonies- complete with signs on their bikes indicating they had cameras.

    They were all over the road, wobbling, weaving, preventing cars from
    overtaking - it was clearly deliberate.

    Eventually, a section of road came along and I was able to pass- giving
    them plenty of space.

    The car behind wasn’t so lucky, he passed but I suspect will appear on a video.

    A bit later, I saw the lycra loonies again, in the town we were driving to.


    One was parking his bike blocking the pavement. The other was blocking the
    road making a phone call.

    Disgraceful.

    If the boot was on the other foot, the police web sites would melt with the overload.
