Remind me again how cyclists never hurt anyone and can stop on a sixpence.

People get killed crossing the road all the time, sadly it's far too
common.

Interestingly enough Simon Mason has been bragging about how he rides
at 25 MPH in a 20MPH limit.


I have asked him what his stopping distance is at that speed.

He has failed to answer.

I have asked him if he thinks it may be dangerous for other road
users.

He has failed to answer.



Some cyclists are really quite arrogant aren't they?

Can't have happened, cyclists never hit a vulnerable victim.

"pretentious"? Big word for you? Who told you about it?

BTW. Did you mean the sig that shows cyclists what pathetic ******s they
are;

"Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike, like a skateboard,
