It’s less relevant because it was a triathlete. their reputation for bike handling, and their events, are entirely different. Therefore not 100 percent relevant.But some. event though it has never been a major issue in my gravel or road events.
Regardless, you are right, and I will give up bike racing and riding in the countryside at all, as it is apparently cycling is a sport for thoughtless yahoos and the worldviews of rural folk are the only valid ones.
Always wondered why those people in cars beeped angrily when they got held up for 30 seconds.
