Default Three cyclists rammed on London Critical Mass 15th Anniversary ride.

The practice of drivers ramming cyclists to make them get out of the
way is no doubt promoted by the lowly status of cyclists in general on
our roads today and the widespread acceptance of the use of a car as a
weapon. Sooner or later it will end with someone getting killed, if it
has not already, but in the meantime it just damages bikes so why
should the motorists care?

Lets see, the film starts by showing cycling in a pedestrian area, it
then shows cycling in coned of areas, cycling through a red light,
cyclists refusing to obey a police officer, cycling on the wrong side
of the road & blocking a box junction.

And you are complaining about motorists!

According the DougView(tm) of the world, the points you've raised don't
apply to cyclists. According to Doug.

If you go out of your way to **** off other road users, you probably deserve
what you get. Even if you don't deserve it, you should have seen it coming.
And that cuts all ways.

Not that I would support ramming of anyone by anyone.

What you are overlooking, again, is that the Law Lords decreed that CM
is a 'procession customarily held'. As with other processions,
particularly those of our establishment masters, traffic is usually
held up respectfully waiting for the procession to pass in safety and
normal rules of the road are not applied. But of course, as CM only
involves lowly cyclists their safety doesn't matter, they are supposed
to strictly abide by the rules of the road while motorists do not and
they are expected to take second place to impatient motorists, who are
in a hurry to enjoy a fun Friday night-out in Central London while
congesting each other and other road users.

I *would* disseminate that paragraph and point out the many flaws in
your logic, but its all been done many, many times before and now even
you know that its a piece of complete ********. Even the cyclists think
you're a nutter, Duhg. Just kill yourself and get it over with, eh?

Where is it said that a procession may ignore no cycling areas?
Where is it said that a procession may ignore police instruction?
Where is it said that a procession may ignore the rules of the road?
If it is a procession why was the route not published?
Is it ok fro cyclists to ignore the law because you say motorist do?
Who were causing the congestion by blocking junctions & lifting their
bikes in the air? (I'll give you a clue, they were cyclists)
Why should motorist not enjoy a Friday night out?
Why are you a biggoted idiot?
Why are you not getting any support on this NG?

Because, fortunately, decent cyclists are starting to wake up to the
idea that usenet is full of the very people they're trying to educate
into having a better attitude to cyclists, and that complete ****wits
like Duhg ruin their efforts.
