It wouldn't do to allow "them" to get away with positive cycling content; especially on a newgroup so dedicated. It's gone through the backlog on other groups too. Given that JNugent is just somebody's attempt at making a Turing program, I had assumed the break was a desperately needed upgrade of both hardware and software. Unfortunately there hasn't been any obvious sign of improvement so far. |

I killfiled him in 2010 as his ramblings are like the sad souls who spend all day writing lengthy tomes on the Daily Express comments to the PM as if she has time to read them all! |

Just prejudice based on mode of transport! No prejudice. It all arises out of experience and acquired information, much of it gained in this very NG. You and Cheerless clearly live a very sheltered existence. The exact opposite, I'm afraid. "acquired information, much of it gained in this very NG". I rest my case. I wish it weren't; I really do. I wish cyclists today were as law-abiding and sociable as cyclists were in the 1950s. Don't you? To people of a certain age and beyond the past is always a golden era. Culture has changed out of recognition since the 50's. Not that I was there and only have black & white films to go by. You take an occasional report about a "cyclist" doing something wrong (which invariably has nothing to do with actually riding the bike) and choose not to compare with the population at large. I really don't care about obedience to the law when what is important is the safety of others. It ought to be a given that, compared to a driver, a person on a bike cannot afford (on average) to be selfish. Sp do you agree, or disagree, that as a class of road-user, cyclists used to be much more law-compliant and courteous than they tend to be nowadays? I have been a bicyclist for about 60 years. I have not noticed much difference between then and now. That's there. This is here. Believe me, it's different. The foul-mouthed SJW-type cyclist didn't exist here back then. Oh but here they did. That is the basis of my observation that nothing much has changed. Here bicyclists have, in general always had a rather casual attitude to red lights, giving way, acknowledging the existence of pedestrians and so forth. About the only difference is that now they tend to be more likely to wear battle gear and clothes. I am saddened to hear it. Best wishes. Thanks. Bonus for stopping at red lights -- I get to watch the ravishing maidens walking by. |
