Which is bad, it enforces the idea that cycles don't belong on the
road, and motorists have the right to force us out of the way

Good point but actually, I don't want to be in the same place as the cars.
Let them have their space and we can have ours. I think it's better that
way.

When I say reply in OE it replies to all groups that were originally posted
to. Since Ed posted to UK cycling, the reply goes to UK cycling. Bottom line
is that I was too lazy to sort through the groups that were posted to. At
least it was close to being on topic.

=v= Please rethink this and take greater care in the future.
Ed Dolan clearly has a lot of time on his hands and takes a
perverse pride in upsetting people, and widespread off-topic
crossposts are part of his little bag of tricks.

=v= If you're not a regular subscriber to any of these groups
you may not know that it's a constant annoyance to have these
constant off-topic discussions cross-posted into them. It's
mostly Ed Dolan and that Comandante Banana character (who has,
thankfully, been quiet lately -- maybe the men in white coats
caught up to him again). Please take a few seconds to make
sure the Newsgroups: header is relevant and help Usenet stay
a little bit useful.

P.S.: And yes, I know I'm cross-posting this myself, nobody
needs to point that out. Obviously, I'm hoping this works
more along the lines of a vaccine.
