Some people are worth cycling with. At the same time, there are cyclists whom we think it\u2019s better to avoid.<\/strong>

Cyclist riding without lights after dark<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is a lot of risks when we cycle. So why are some people doing it even worse? Cyclists riding during the night without appropriate lighting act like they have a death wish. The question is not \u201cif\u201d but \u201cwhen\u201d will something happen? Try to empathise with those poor drivers who catch a sight of the ghost rider in the fraction of the last second before the inevitable crash. They might eventually avoid it but they might as well knock the cyclist down. In both cases, cyclists without lights contribute to the bad relationship between us and the drivers.<\/p>\n

Cyclist who overtakes you under the lights<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s not much going on but it\u2019s just a staple of good behaviour to stay where you are. You probably remember this from your own experiences. You may travel by bike to your job and you are kind of in a hurry. Suddenly, you need to stop on the lights because they turned red. And, at the same time, someone from the rear battles his way through all the gathered cyclists and heads to the front. It doesn\u2019t have a reason. He just needs to be in the best position to win this year\u2019s World Cup over Valentino Rossi. Jerk. Please, tell him this is really silly.<\/p>\n

The crappy videos\u2019 uploader<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite all those beautiful pictures and videos from great professional crews, some cyclists still believe that somebody\u2019s interested in their private ride submissions on YouTube. If you are standing on top of the mountain, ready to drop into the Red Bull Rampage, then yes, we definitively want to see your POV video. But if it\u2019s just another crazy wild ten-minute off-road lullaby, you can keep it in your GoPro for individual screening. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n

Cyclist who is dating his bike<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Posting selfies with his bike. Cherishing it every day. Talking about it like if it was his baby, darling, honey\u2026 whatever. Do you know guys like that? We do too. Even though we also love our bikes, it\u2019s good to keep in mind that it\u2019s just a machine that provides speed and torque conversions from our pedalling power to the wheels. Just because you paid your 4-month salary for it doesn\u2019t mean we have less fun with cycling on bikes from the pawnshop.<\/p>\n

Cyclist who thinks every ride is a race<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Without a doubt, cycling is a great sport but it\u2019s an amazing fun, too. Most of us spend the time behind the (handle)bars clearly because it\u2019s a much better amusement than most of our other activities. Sometimes, it\u2019s good enough just to have a ride with a bunch of your friends. Even while cycling you can have a conversation and socialise, which is a way better option than tipple in a pub. Well, sometimes\u2026 And also, there are rides for charity or for supporting cycling rights where there\u2019s no need for speed. However, you can bet your bibs there will be a couple of idiots who can\u2019t live without turning everything into a competition. Does anybody know why?<\/p>\n

Cyclist who doesn\u2019t take care of his bike<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s little bit weird when somebody cares for his bike like it was his child. But to leave it to fall apart is not graceful either. Wash the bike and its moving parts, clean the chain with a brush and lube it afterwards. Do it after every dirty ride. When we see your 80s\u2019 Italian steel road bike covered in rust, our hearts hurt very much.<\/p>\n

Cyclist who always has something better (than the rest of us)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the guy who asks you about something just to have an opportunity to explain how much better or how much worse is he doing. His bike was more expensive, he made it to the top with higher average speed, his Strava records showed him more gained elevation meters, his head wind was way stronger, and his winter training is, obviously, going to take place somewhere you can only dream about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
