What grinds your gears out on the bike?

Yep, every problem encountered when riding my bike is somehow related to a person.

Weridly though I've never encountered a 'youth' as a problem, Seems to be the older generation or the odd van man, Audi & BM driver.

Even mud/ice on the road? Road cambers at junctions? They dont really grind my gears though to be honest, but you see what I am getting at :p
 
Manhole covers in the middle of junctions/on roundabouts. Fine in the dry, but when they're wet it's like riding on ice with a topping of butter and banana skins with slick tyres on.

Mud left on the road by other vehicles driven by people. Road cambers designed by people, roads are not a natural phenomena. Ice on the roads, my parents for not emigrating to Australia when they were going to 40 years ago.

All people related.

Have you just subconsciously told us your age? :shock: Hehe.

Theres alot of problems with regards to roads, I hate pot holes that are in my path, I always think, what if I wrote a letter to my local council, then I rememberd my local council now has around 4 employees. :roll:
 
When people use windscreen washers and it shoots over the top of the car roof and into your face. Also the look of hate you get when you filter.
 
the fact that in France whenever the weather get's bad (rain, fog, but most of all SNOW AND ICE!) people seem to forget how to drive. Will over take in stupid places because you're going 10 under the limit because of slippery roads, or just randomly slam on the brakes or cut you up in traffic.
 
As i found out this morning with Wray94 ..... Gravel. slowed down to a roundabout and my rear end caught some gravel and i came off !!!! i got the bike on some grass before it hit the floor, so everything is okay.

hope you're ok and damage is minimal. Gravel is allways a pain in the ass, at times you'd think they deliberatly sprinkle the stuff around.
 
Stupid kids trying to race me in there pimped out cars with about $2000 worth of useless plastic from Halfords.
