Excuse me. I can't stand people who "just seem to want to make a nuisance of themselves", and I usually do my best to cooperate with everyone. I only come onto this group to piss certain people off because *they* seek to make a nuisance of themselves by making things harder for motorists. If the motorist-haters would mind their own business, leave motorists to go about their lives, and stop using this group as a political base for their campaigning against drivers (when it should be a neutral group about recreational cycling in the UK), I would have no interest in this group whatsoever.

Rest assured that I can't stand people who constantly make a nuisance of themselves. A good day for me is one where I've helped other people, they in turn have helped me, and everyone's got what they wanted as a result. For others, however, a road journey is not complete until they've held at least one person up unnecessarily. I can't stand people like that (the world would be far better off without them), and I am most certainly not such a person. Chapman and co, on the other hand, like nothing more than to impede and frustrate motorists who are just trying to go about their business. They are perfect examples of the people you mention who like to make a nuisance of themselves wherever they go; I only make a nuisance of myself here (nowhere else), to give such busybodying bastards a taste of their own medicine (and of course to disrupt their anti-motorist campaigning as much as possible, for which I make no apology).

Chapman and co devote huge amounts of time and effort to making things harder for motorists; I simply spend a little time trying to disrupt their scheming. Who are the people who "just seem to want to make a nuisance of themselves" there?
