There are not many things that I really despise when I see others riding their bikes. But like a normal human there are things that just upset me. For example people that ride their bike without a shirt on. Where in the world is that acceptable? I think that it's already disgusting and revolting to see people running without a shirt on, why do I want to see a person bike without one? I don't want to see your sweaty back, front, or crack so put a shirt on and make it a cycling shirt, which brings me to another thing I really hate.
People that don't know how to dress for riding a bike. It really amazes me that to this day there are adults that don't have the awareness to look around and see that what their are wearing is atrocious. It's not just woeful color combinations, it's also fit. Fit is very important in looking good whether you are riding or just walking on the street. Please no XL fits on a 120 lbs. guy, and really when your bib has been washed so many times that it went from a M to a XL buy a new one. They are not that expensive. Also why do people insist on wearing neon yellow jackets in the middle of the day? I see you, everyone sees you, because you are burning our retinas (maybe we can't see you anymore after staring at your jacket for too long.). You are not a construction worker, and you are not riding in the middle of the night.
And what the fuck is up with a mirrors attached to a bike helmet? You look silly, and it's really not that safe, it's distracting, and you keep looking over your shoulders like someone is out for you.
You see it's not that many things I really dislike, but those I do really bother me.
Tell us how you really feel! :) For the record...I completely agree. No sweaty backs, guys. Thank you very much.
