Cyclegranny is a Twitter account well worth a follow for the chronicles of one person's experience using a bike to get around Sheffield.

"I called this video WTF!" they said...and it's hard to argue with that assessment...this one's WTF meets MGIF...

Approaching a mini roundabout which, presumably, the driver didn't see. I say presumably because the following manoeuvre would be beyond belief otherwise... With that said I'm not sure how they'd miss it, but maybe I'll stick to saying what happened rather than trying to explain the unexplainable.

The WTF MGIF backs out when they see a second cyclist coming around the roundabout, you can almost see the 'oh s*** that's a roundabout' penny drop...

So, what would have been the reward for their speedy pass? Sitting in traffic a couple of seconds sooner, of course...

A tale as old as time...(well, at least as old as motor vehicles)...

Fairy-cycling in Sheffield?

Almost literally, an uphill struggle.

OOOOPS.

Cyclegranny, the very lovely Anne Ramsey, is based in Belfast. I think you're mixing her up with the equally splendid Cycling in a Skirt, who chronicles her rides in Sheffield. Both well worth following.
