Default Aussie cyclists come under same restrictions as Hell's Angels

and NO lycra

THE Newman State Government is proposing to extend its anti-bikie laws
to ban lycra-clad cyclists riding in packs.

"Bikies wearing colours are prohibited from associating with each other,
so we only think its fair cyclists should also be banned from riding in
packs," a spokesman said.

"Cyclists would still be able to ride together if they aren't wearing
lycra.''

What an excellent idea!

We should adopt it here!

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

Good plan:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe this is going ahead, can you imagine police arresting
hundreds of cyclists?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep: sounds alright to me

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motoring groups have hailed the move as a fantastic move forward for road
safety.

"It's been a constant struggle for motorists to constantly have to dodge these
enormous bikes as they ride on the side of the road," said Queensland Motoring
Safety spokesman Rob McGaskill.

"We've had reports of drivers being delayed by as much as five minutes on their
daily commutes having to wait for these menaces.

"They're a threat to the safety of drivers everywhere and we're glad to see
them taken off the road."

Why do people insult others?

The solution to this predicament is simple: withdraw from the social
hierarchy game. In practical terms, this means becoming an insult
pacifist: when insulted, you carry on as if nothing happened. Or if you
do respond to an insult, you use self‑deprecating humor: you insult
yourself even worse than they did and laugh while doing it.

Some people do it because it makes them feel better about themselves.

I do it because people deserve it.

If true, that will certainly benefit the losers.

In that case, it's only fair for you to give an example of that which
you advocate - assuming that you are willing to back up your laughable
attempt at social engineering. Either way, you have identified yourself
as one of the losers you expect to benefit from your little game.

Ask Judith. She gave out the compliment.
