This seems to happen more at Parkruns than other races but you're assembling waiting for your race to start along with tens, hundreds or even thousands of finely tuned athletes and some dick walks though the crowd SMOKING !

They shouldn't have been there in the first place!

Wine Legs Apr 2015 11:04am, 10 Apr 2015 3,745 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs The problem as I see it is that frequently cars change lanes without signalling, or without signalling for sufficient time, and also without checking their mirrors. I have the same issue on the bicycle. However, it does grind my gears when a motorbike wedges it self in a gap between cars so that a cyclist can't continue past even though there's sufficient space for a bicycle. And motorbikes in the advanced stopping box.
