Two farmers from the Scottish borders left cyclists with no doubt as to their opinion of them last week.

The pair, said to be in their 70s, tried to block the road for cyclists in the Tour O The Borders event.

Video footage shows the farmers brandishing lengths of piping, which they held out in an attempt to stop the cyclists passing, forcing them to swerve or stop.

The Dealer is told that several local roads in the area are closed every year for the tour and farmers have previously complained about not being able to move machinery from field to field at harvest time as a result.
