At least this cyclist did not blame the car driver.

Pedestrians should be made to wear number plates as well, just in case
they mug someone.

Or so that they can be identified after being mown down by a cyclist on the
pavement.

Over dosed on the stupid pills again I see.

Pedestrians aren't in charge of a vehicle.

Try to remember that word. Vehicle.

I am glad you finally agree that cycles are road going vehicles and
not toys.
We *are* making steady progress.

The handful that that have died after being hit by a bicycle on the
pavement not only have no trouble in being identified, they are
commemorated and remembered for years and years after their passing,
their names are chiselled into the minds of cycle haters and Daily
Mail hacks alike. Cheerless could reel off all of the victim's names
from the past 10 years, no problem.

I doubt if he could do the same with the 30000 killed by cars in the
same period though.

So it can't be a toy then since according to your sig, it is either a
toy *or* a vehicle to people.

You have stated unequivocally that a bicycle is a vehicle in your
eyes.

Therefore it cannot be a toy .

In your limited intellect possibly.

It can be both. As Professor Dave Horton of Lancaster University -
himself a cyclist - states.

But to follow your weird logic, if you claim it isn't a toy - you must
be poor or strange.

Your powers of comprehension cannot be that bad, surely?

That sig contains a quote from a report by a third party, in which it was
found that some people regard bikes as toys and some people regard them as
vehicles fit only for the strange and/or poor. Some may regard them as being
both/either.

You have stated unequivocally that a bicycle is a vehicle in your
eyes.

Is there any reason why the views of the study interviewees and the PP need
to be the same?

It can indeed be both, depending on the eye of the beholder.
But it is important that *you* believe that it is a vehicle.
After that, we can start to make progress, albeit slowly.

be poor or strange.

Correct again.
I am both poor and strange.
But don't forget that poor and strange are both relative terms.
To the owner of Chelsea football club I am poor.
And to a slob who watches East Enders, X Factor, reads Hello magazine,
listens to Coldplay and Take That and holidays in Corfu, I am truly
strange.
But then again, I am not a brainwashed sheep like they are
