C'mon the farmers, get these queue makers off the roads.

Quite right too who do these cyclists think they are, the old fuddies drive into town at 30 mph and they think they own the road.

C'mon the farmers, get these queue makers off the roads.

Indeed. Road Nazis

Don't know what's worse, getting stuck behind a tractor or getting stuck behind half a dozen push bike wànkers driving in the middle of the road!

Two elderly men in flat caps ????. I just hope Jack and Victor have an alibi ready

Farmer should have waited till they were on an upslope and chased them with a combine harvester.

Hot subject down this way emotions are running high .But surely you should be able to cycle faster than an old man with a stick
