Don't repeat your arse wipe's posting. Neither of you believe a word
that she has said anyway.


kill-file broken?


Look, let's settle this. Can you point me in the direction of any post
where I have mention your name in relation to a killfile? Or are you a
neurotic transvestite ****?


Oh dear.

How do you become an expert on errant cyclists in London?

I don't. If you want to know how Laura Trott does it, then you'll have
to ask her.

Why are you replying to me? I had thought you only ever replied to people
you agreed with.

The double Olympic champion Laura Trott has accused cyclists of being
reckless and causing accidents by failing to obey the rules of the road.

The cycling gold medallist said she was shocked by how many rogue riders
jumped red lights and weaved dangerously through traffic - and added that
accidents were "not always the car's fault".

She also called for safety helmets to be compulsory for all riders as she
spoke of how her sister, also a professional cyclist, had survived being
knocked off her bike by wearing one.

Trott said: "Cyclists wonder why they get a bad name. I see cyclists jumping
in and out of the buses and people wonder why they get hit. It's not always
the car's fault. Cyclists need to help themselves and should not jump red
lights.

No, people need to stop getting worked up about nothing. It's a few bumps here and there, not a ****ing nuclear holocaust.

You `thought' wrong (with apologies to JNugent). This is Usenet.

Bravo, so you do interact with normal people. Well done. It's the first
step to recovery. Step 2 is reading and understanding the Highway Code.

Dearie-me. Are car drivers getting so desperate that the 'wisdom' of
a girl who's barely out of childhood, is now being touted as some sort
of authority?

When she used to live near here, she didn't appear to ever ride on

I can answer that, you are a pedestrian (especially near Waterloo).
