Try as I might, I can't think of one single community or ecosystem that I've
destroyed. Please provide more details, I could do with a laugh.
Do you deny the wanton ecosystem destruction
caused every day by thoughtless mountain bikers ?

Not surprising that you would wish to ignore it I guess.


On the contrary, I am appalled by the damage done to the ecosystem by
mountain bikes.

If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the precipitate.

Case in point is how we should make people pass a cycling/motorcycle
test and if they fail that test they won't have a chance with the
driving test! Why? Because it's better to knock a few cones with a
bicycle, than with a car, where those cones are bound to be cyclists
or pedestrians in real life.

Simply some people should not be driving!

uk.rec.driving

meet the obsessed, militant footsoldiers you share the road with.

I think you all need to talk this through

ALL car drivers shold have to ride a cycle for at least a year on the road
every day before getting a driving licence for a car.

And then if the survive they'll get points toward the Driver's
License. Makes sense.

It also makes sense that we adopt the British system by which the new
licensees get to bear the letter L for learner. And then if they never
learn they should bear the letter S for stupid.

A lot of them in America.

A lot of the trolls on uk.rec.cycling think that all motorists (except
them) should bear the letter "C" for "c**t". *Not that they'll ever
admit it, of course.- Hide quoted text -

I think motorists are somewhere between down the path of evolution,
past the SUV (alpha monkey) but not fully evolved (civilized man on
bicycle).

...And based on many of the wayward cyclists I've seen in my many years
on the road, some shouldn't even be riding.
