killed, if it has not already, but in the meantime it just damages
bikes so why should the motorists care?

Well Doug, have you looked at all the replies that you have got?
Do they seem to follow a patten?
Please feel free to comment.

Surely they only serve to validate the DougView(tm) that this NG and the
rest of the world are ruled by the mob.

Most of those cyclists are what gives "us" a bad name - total *******.

Indeed, my mistake.

The usual reason, this NG is dominated by motorists.

This Newsgroup dominated by motorists?

You are really stretching now Doug. *I thought you were being realistic
saying(typing) UK.transport was dominated by motorists, but URC? Is this
your standard reaction to any group *which doesn't agree ENTIRELY with
you/your viewpoint?
Viz "the group is dominated by motorists".

Don't forget according to Doug, you are not a real cyclist if you have a
driving licence.

Doug has a driving licence.
Doug even has a small electric car that he drives along the footways
of catford.
Doug rides his bike along the footway.

Doug is a firm believer in "do as I say, not as I do."

A large proportion of the people in this video are not real cyclists.
A lot of them are just bandwagon protesters, and the only time they
ride a bike is at events like this.
They protest for the sake of protesting, and give real cyclists a bad
name. After the event is over they go home and drive their cars for
the next month, until the next protest.
Unfortunatly real cyclists who do not attend this event receive the
fall out from other motorists who have been ****ed off by the genereal
disrespect for the law by CMers. Cyclists who cycle every day will get
worse treatment because of people like you who insist on winding
motorists up for the shear hell of it.

A driving licence is a licence to kill.

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!

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 uprespectfully 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.

Respect works both ways. It these protesters don't show respect for
the law and other people, then other people will not show respect for
them. The problem here is that the CM riders are ****ing off both the
police, and people who happen to be driving two ton cars. I suspect
that you have noticed that someone driving a two ton car can do a lot
of damage to a cyclist, whilst being safe themselves, so why do some
people think it is a good idea to deliberately **** off the motorists.

But are you talking about the same Doug.
Do not forget there is more than one.

Perhaps they can think how right they were from their hospital bed.
