new report on cyclists

.............cyclists are incompetent, ignorant, illegal and unconcerned for
their own or others' safety.

Seems to fit the facts.

Mr C has completely misunderstood and misquoted the research and, thus, has confirmed and validated the research.

"June 18, 2013 — New research, published in Mobilities journal, looks at
why cycling is still a peripheral form of transport despite efforts to
boost its popularity during the last 20 years. Discrimination is said to
be a large part of the problem and this stigma creates problems for
policy makers trying to buck the trend".

"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."

Then why is so much public money wasted on trying to encourage it?

You and Cheerless don't have the intellect to comprehend academic research, best to stick with the Sun.

Strange then, that we always manage to beat cyclists in an argument.

Mind you, beating someone who believes a push bike is suitable transport
for an adult isn't difficult.

Bicycles are for Children. Like masturbation, something you should grow
out of.
There is something seriously sick and stunted about grown men who want
to ride a bike."

A load of babble to try to justify itself.
The bit I quoted is the reality.

You don't have the intellect to realise when you've lost an argument.

It is easy to spot a win, the psycholist drops into ranting,
spittle-dripping abuse.
