cycling into the headwind this morning I decided to go through the docks instead of normal route. Got there just in front of a couple of other cyclists and pressed the buzzer. 2mins 30 seconds later we were still waiting for the door to be opened by the guy in the booth ... which also had a couple of cars waiting. I decided to hell with this and went back out and cycled passed the booth without stopping and re-joined the cycle path about 50 yards down the road - you`re punted onto the road from the path anyway so I didn`t see what the big deal was. Well, the guy at the other end was not a happy chappy.I explained that I thought that the gate was broken as we were waiting so long, but he said `we should have waited` ... I said you try waiting in the cold freezing your nuts off. and I may have told him to `f**k off` before cycling away. The MOST POINTLESS SECURITY GATES ... IN THE WORLD (in the voice of Mr Clarkson).
