Not exactly something I hate, but I had an 'amusing' encounter with a pedestrian today. We were both waiting for the light to change on a busy road and I was taking my usual approach of staying clipped in and sitting on my bike. Note: this is not a "trackstand". I am not standing up on the pedals and moving the bike back and forward to balance in some sort of lame-arse wobble fest. I am just sitting on the saddle, with my feet up and moving the handlebars a little bit either way to stay balanced. You'd have to looking at my feet to see that they're not on the ground.
Anyway, the pedestrian shouts at me (I'm trying to social distance as far away from his as possible) "Do you know that's distracting for drivers. They don't know what you're going to do next."
Really? That's news to me as I look at the blank faces of the drivers speeding past not evening bothering to look at the side of the road.
He then says "I'm not having a go at you, I ride a push bike as well."
Okaaaay. That's strike 2 right there buddy. I'm not riding a "push bike". What even is a "push bike"? You can "push" your bike, but that's not riding it. If your riding it then surely its a riding bike or a bike being ridden.
I simply replied to him "Well the distracting drivers thing is news to me."
