At the end of the day, 'cyclist hatred' springs from the same poisonous
source as racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia etc. It is not based on
reason and as such, it is immune to education or reason.

Its proponents should be dealt with the same way.

Nuglet often visits the USA for business, I think. He then spams the
groups he infests to let people know that he is back. I killfiled him in
2010 as his ramblings are like the sad souls who spend all day writing
lengthy tomes on the Daily Express comments to the PM as if she has time
to read them all!

A rather good definition.

BTW: erratum - 'proportionally' and not 'proportionality'.
