Dave,

You really should stop quoting that poor Dave Horton out of context.

You really should stop being a total ****ing idiot.

All of his publications are very pro cycling. He says "I believe
cycling can be the most important and popular means of mobility on our
planet, accounting for well over half of all journeys in all
societies"

**** me but you are stupid - even by cyclist's standards.

What he believes and what his research clearly showed that the public
believe, are two entirely different things.

You really do misunderstand the reason for the quotation, don't you?

Oh I don't know - if a cyclist with a 62 x11 gear was motorpaced all
the way around he could have a decent stab at it.



How? What would the pace vehicle be?

One of these - they were all the rage in the 1960's

.. Under such circumstances, insults provide a continuous mechanism for
maintaining some mobility within a hierarchy of power and status.
