It's one thing when motorists cut us off, swear at us or otherwise behave badly.
It irks me even more, though, when cyclists are inconsiderate toward each other.
With that in mind, some folks in Merrie Olde England have made a video about something only they can teach us: How To Be A Gentleman/Lady Cyclists.
Most of the suggestions are commonsensical: pointing out road hazards, giving a boost to someone who's lagging and helping out with repairs. I had to laugh, though, at the bit about sharing food--including Pringles! And, after offering suggestions in that oh-so-British understated way, we're told that, ahem, we shouldn't pass wind as we pass each other.
Oh, and don't forget to bring your wallet!
