Brake Blocks and Buckled Wheels were the curse of the Cyclist for unintended resistance, now bikes have disc brakes and, have yet to try one equipped in this way, will do so soon, and report back.
I noticed during the lockdown when l was driving to the supermarket, how cheeky cyclists had become.
It was like they were now King of the Road, and could dominate the width of the road. This was done by nonchalantly taking up most of it and not caring a damn about cars being stuck behind them.
Something like this happened to me a couple of years ago. The cyclist who had no lights was weaving from side to side on a narrow winding road slowly and deliberately in such a way that I could not overtake. When I did eventually pull in somewhere to try he spat at the car. I was so upset that I turned the car around. I wasn't driving fast or harassing him he was just a horrible guy. The trouble is that you can't do anything because half of them have cameras on their heads but they have no licence plate on their vehicle.
What about those using zimmer frames and pull-along shopping basket thingies? Plus those mobility scooter things. Answer that then, eh Izzy. Go on, I dare you ...

It is indeed a huge irritation that there are those cyclists who mkae such a bad name/reputation for the vast majority of sensible ones.
Cyclists' Lives Matter. If anyone disagrees, I trust they will get round to removing the plaque made for Sir Frank Bowden
What about a cyclist pushing his (or Hers) pushbike??
Mind you, it is somewhat irritating when you get a couple of cyclists dumping their bikes on the floor outside shops, which are a trip hazard, to say the least.
