ok we've had dumb things ppl say while out riding
but what are some of your pet peeves that get to you while riding

Some things I hate:

Always finding the headwind up that 9% grade.
Parents that don't pay attention to their kids on the bike/foot paths.
Cars and trucks double parked in bike lanes.
Wind that changes direction on the return trip.
Also on paths - Pairs of cyclists coming the opposite way that won't take a break from chatting to move into single file when they can clearly see that I'm approaching a pedestrian/dog/brat going in my direction.
 
Vehicles that don't give way at intersections
Motorists who open the door of a parked car without checking for passing cyclists.
Motorists who will take any risk to pass a cyclist.
Pedestrians who run into the road without checking for traffic. ( had one person abuse me for riding on the road , she told me that i should be riding on the road , i told her she should be thanking me for saving her life by stopping in time )
 
drivers who don't understand why I can't ride further to the side (glass, sand, potholes, etc).

just need to have a game of chicken , they'll move sooner or later

Broken beer bottles

and there is those tossers that yell out of the car window as they drive past
 
People in cars who feel the desperate need to get around you 50 meters before their turn!
 
- Getting passed by a large group of riders and have them crowd me off the road.
 
sorry peeps , not going to have this thread turn into a motorist vs cyclist thread
 
I know they don't pay sherko, the question is should those bastards pay for the privilege of riding on the road?
