Cyclists are a Perverted Pestulance [Times Article 18/02]
To be honest, I'm not sure - I think it's more a London selective
seeing thing, but meh, any old excuse. Leave those folk in London, I experienced four years in the Capital, cycled through the West End nearly everyday (not wearing lyrca in the week I might add) and I know now where I prefer to be. Meh, each to their own :-) Sad but true, I love London and all it brings, the filth, the unfriendliness, the expense, the anonimity, the crappy flatshares - it's all good in my bookl. And, most importantly, I love my cycle :-) Tom. |

Why limit yourself to illegal ones? Hehehe, it's always a fun argument to have in the pub: "What do you mean you're an immigrant with that posh an accent?" Tom. |

the article, in case the red mist that came before your eyes obscured your view of it, was primarily about the actions of a secetion of the cycling community who DO put PEDESTRIANS at risk by their unreasonable behaviour. Vent your spleen by all means, but 'tis best directed at the tw*ts on bikes who I regularly come across as either pedestrian or cyclist. pk More accurately put - "'tis best directed at aforementioned t*wts be they on 2 wheels or 4, motorised or not." I have always thought that as a pedestrian, I expect drivers/cyclists to behave, and as a road user, I expect pedestrians to behave. The only reason I am still here today is that have never yet met myself coming the other way. Not a comforting thought! There are good and bad cyclists, and good and bad drivers - it's just that the bad driver make more of a mess.... Patrick Patrick Mullin, MCSD (VB6). Email first name at AuroraDigitalis dot com |
