- Overweight cyclists in super tight lycra on aero carbon bikes. I mean, really?
- People who ride MUP's in full tri-bullet mode
- People who will not call/signal a pass on MUP's (or on the road for that matter). Simple courtesy and good safety measure. Group rides excepted, of course.
- low cadence mashers
- poor form, specifically riding with knees splayed out and feet cockeyed on pedals. Just looks goofy as hell. I'll add unnecessary head bobbing to the list.
- noisy drivetrain
- calling downtube shifters "suicide shifters". who started that?
- deep dish rims on lugged steel-framed bikes, unless they are proper vintage aero rims on a time trial bike from the era
- electronic shifting. I know folks who swear by it, but I see it as unnecessary technological complication on what should be a simple, functional machine

I feel better now.
