A person on a bicycle is not a car in front. That is an efficient use of the taxes I pay for my car. In what way do your taxes flow to the cyclist? What an odd question. Not having a car in front is of benefits me when I am in my car. Far worse to have cyclist in front doing 12mph, or if going up a slight incline, 8mph. Have you not mastered how to overtake yet? You mean "safely overtake"? In which case, yes. When overtaking a dangerously slow and unstable vehicle, susceptible to violent direction changes due to slight winds or minor road imperfections - in other words, a push bike - you have to be very careful. Otherwise they whinge endlessly about wanting a 3 metre safety space. Do you have the same problem overtaking a horse? A horse is not classed as a road vehicle, a child's toy is. Very true. A horse and rider are treated with respect and admiration. A cyclist is treated as being a piece of ****, which they are. Please don't be unfair to ****. A horse and the rider will almost certainly carry 3rd party liability insurance. A cyclist will almost certainly not. Other than fridge freezer cover. The rider of the horse will be competent to ride on the public highway. A cyclist is not. Very true. It is forbidden by law to ride a horse on the footpath. Horse riders do not ride on the footpath. Cyclists do ride on the footpath. Horse riders don't jump red lights either. I could go on. It seems very obvious that a horse is more respected and law abiding than a cyclist. This shows what a load of ******s cyclists really are. Every cyclist!? My word, you are a bitter person. |

Tell me more about this "rational thought" that you once had. Are you able to counter Mr Pounder's arguments with a rational reply? Or is a feeble ad hominem the best you can do? You're the one spouting ad hominems, pot kettle. |

TMS 320 finally admits that cyclists are sponging freeloaders!
Phil W Lee put finger to keyboard:

That was absolute 100% proof tripe. Parliament can do what they like.

Unless, of course, you know of some over-arching piece of legislation (preferably one over which some super-national jurisdiction applies) which means that Parliament would be prevented from legislating, M'Lud. Over to you. FX: eery silence. I've pointed out to Mr. Lee in the past that people *have* been banned from cycling on public highways. Googling _asbo bicycle_ or similar will throw up instances of people being banned from cycling on certain roads, banned from cycling altogether, even banned from touching bikes. I've no idea why he continues to insist that it can't happen. Find me an example of someone being prosecuted for doing so, not some example of what a magistrate thought he could impose. Which would prove what, exactly? That the terms as stated by the magistrates in such cases are unenforceable. How would finding an example of someone being prosecuted prove that the terms are unenforceable? Take your time. |

"A cyclist has been hit with an ASBO that has banned him from riding in parts of Leicester after he waged a violent seven-year campaign of attacks on pedestrians in the city. Gurnaik Singh Dogra randomly kicked and punched pedestrians as he rode past them. As per the recent court order, Dogra, 37, can be again arrested and possibly jailed if he is caught riding or even pushing his bike through certain streets in the town." Which part of "court order" and "can be again arrested and possibly jailed if he is caught riding" didn't you understand, halfwit? Not understanding things appears to be his speciality. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

halfwit? Why do people insult others? People naturally make comparisons to other people. And these comparisons can often make us feel worse about ourselves or better about ourselves. As we generally prefer to feel good, we are prone to making downward comparisons, or comparisons that enable us to look down on other people. |
