So it's past the winter season, there they are -- wobbling about on their training runs - nodding and gesturing to the world and all.
Like the nodders in Commuting, these idiots just make cycling seriously uncool for the rest of the population.

One classic nodder incident this week... it almost fell off waving to me from his antics on a very large roundabout.. I was actually cutting across using a cycle pathway/pavement as I couldnt be arsed to ride the long way round.
Full nodder kit on a nodder Giant he was.. no lights even though it was getting late... that's because he was a NODDER!!
My pen won't write on the screen

    Hopefully your post is tongue in cheek. If it's not you're a tw@t.

    I'm happy to see more people on bikes, it should be encouraged. Snobbery, however, I could do without.

    This nodder will carry on waving/saying hello on his Giant to all other cyclists, whether or not he gets a response...

    Par for the course for a secretsqizz post. I think he used to be Mr Angry on the Steve Wright Show.

    Just been looking through his posts. Think he needs a cuddle and a bag of sweets.

    Nodders are not cyclists who nod to you. They are inexperienced cyclists who ride in the wrong gear with their saddles too low, so have to nod their heads up and down with the effort of pedalling.

    But anyway, at least they are riding bikes. So leave them alone.

    If somebody waving gets him this wound up a hug could give him a coronary.
