Good for motorists he means.

Doug, PLEASE stop writing about cycling. Stick to things like animal right
and the like. We cyclists have an uphill struggle against all sorts of
things at the best of times. Having you 'on our side' could tip the balance
so much that the whole activity might be outlawed and every cycle lane
turned into a car park. You are to reasonable causes what MRSA is to good
hospital treatment.

Sorry and all that but as a long-suffering cyclist, who has been
physically injured twice by drivers while never injuring a motorist
myself, though often tempted to do so, my input is unavoidable and I
am dedicated anyway to countering the widespread pro-car propaganda on
newsgroups in which motorists try to rubbish cyclists at every
conceivable opportunity.

I take it you are one of those closet motorists who also masquerade as
a cyclist on NGs and elsewhere.

What a wonderful demonstration of Doug's failure to read other people's
posts.

Another cryptic comment unaccompanied by an explanation? Still, I
suppose it is easier than actually thinking.

But on one of those occasions, you were a pedestrian who ran out into
the road, weren't you?

Why do you always assume to know everything about me when you don't?

What explanation is needed? Try reading these posts from the top and it's
clear what I'm referring to. Except of course, as you constantly
demonstrate, you're too dumb to read things through.

Because you've previously admitted your stupidity and complete disregard for
the safety of other road users doing just as JNugent describes.

I don't know everything about you. How could I?

But I do know what you yourself have announced to the world about
yourself (or that much of it that I can reember offhand).

Can I take it you were a closet motorist when you rescued the dead
bird?

Were you a closet motorist when you dumped your landrover in
Cornwall?

Are you a closet motorist when your children turn up in their cars to
ferry you around?

Do you keep your licence in case you need to drive one of your
childrens cars.

What is a closet motorist anyway? I assume you mean one who tries to
hide his participation in this activity and that you to a tee.

As I have pointed out many times, I do not own a car, I do not drive
cars nor do I travel in other people's cars therefore I cannot be a
closet motorist.
