There is this very annoying fella that makes me grind my teeth just about every morning on my ride through to work.

His crime – the audacity to ride one of those stupid hand-cranked reclined bicycle thingies in morning Muizenburg traffic. Now cyclists in bunches are already on my annoyance list, but this guy on his reclined thingie really takes the cake.

Extremely low on the road, even his stupid little red flag and high visibility jacket doesn’t make him visible until you are just about right on top of him, never mind the fact that he travels so slow that you have to hit the brakes when you’re on top of him, only because his stupid mode of transportation is so wide that you actually have to swing into oncoming traffic to avoid him.

And he annoys the crap out of me even though he hasn’t actually done anything to me.

Weird, right?
