QUOTE: A professional cyclist who lives on the Isle of Man
believes better awareness rather than lower speed limits
would help riders feel safer on the road.

The Isle of Man Cycling Association sent an open letter to
Manx politicians this week calling for reduced speed limits
to aid vulnerable road users.

Team Ineos rider Chris Lawless said issues such as "close
passes" posed a bigger threat.

"It is not speed limits that are the problem it is
education," he added.


If cyclists had to abide by special speed limits there would
be fewer accidents.

Can you provide evidence to support this claim?

If the special speed limits were (say), no more than 10mph (and
less in places also used by pedestrians), would there be any
reason to doubt it?

Obviously, you might doubt it, but equally obviously, I mean
"doubted by a reasonable person of at least average
intelligence, exercising reasonable judgement", which might
well be... er... different.

So no evidence to support your claim, Pamela.

What?

Are you sane?

[That was rhetorical. We already know that the answer is "No".]

Sticks and stones.

Irony is not of your stronger skills, is it?

Irony rusts very quickly on usenet.

Is wordplay what passes for wisdom there?

What she thought was H2O was H2SO4.

Doggerel is now wisdom? Maybe for you.
