I suspect it's the odd Sportive/Charity ride that goes through that upsets folk.

Have you not been? I've been twice in the past and have some pics, somewhere...
Re Gt Budworth, I've been 2-3 times, but in the car. Never seen a problem with people on bikes and the locals seem friendly, there's usually tea in the parish hall with yummy cakes etc.

Here for rides.
I've been, waaay back, before it was restored, three, or four times, on narrowboats, but not been up that way, by boat, anyway, since it was put back into working order.

So cyclists are the problem?

I want to learn 'the art' of, travelling silently, while making a noise AND pissing at 40 mph!!!!! Bloody hell, that is impressive

Sorry to say this but I agree with those who condemn the small minority of cyclists who behave like yobs. Read the other thread on CC about not liking riding in clubs; I tried a well-established club in my local town and was dismayed at the aggression shown by a couple of members towards drivers who were blocked behind the group on narrow lanes. Last Sunday's ride from Manchester to Blackpool did nothing to reduce my disillusionment; we were passed at least three times by the same group of portly MAMILs in the jerseys of a Cheshire club who stopped at junctions allowing us to overtake then blasted past again a few minutes later on the wrong side of the road in a noisy disorganised group. To me it looked more like showing off than setting a consistent pace.
Cyclists often need to shout in order to converse when moving so I can imagine that a shouty group of men would cause some concern in a quiet village populated mostly by retired folk.

Most road users would find it impossible to over-take a 40 bike pelOton -riding in such a group, outside of an organised race, is irresponsible IMO.

It was the consideration, not the single file I was pointing out

Again interesting that you focus on the single file, not the consideration bit

What's the Clooney connection?
Nothing, only that George Clooney won a libel case against the Mail and used his speech that didn't accept their apology as a means to highlight the paper's low standards. And I like the phrase "makes up its facts to the detriment of its readers"

Cracking a solo.
It's the similarity in appearance of most male cyclists to Mr Clooney.............or is that just me?
