Kerb crawling motorists will be named and shamed.

Better make it a recumbent trike, that way there'd be no embarressing
falling over incidents if one's concentration wandered! Deciding whether
a Delta or Tadpole configuration would be better is something I'm not
getting into!

Doug, uk.rec.cycling is in trouble.
If you had been reading it you would have seen that consistent trolling
campaigns by one complete idiot and one bullying, attention seeking berk
have driven most of the good folk away.

My guess is they were driven away long ago by an abundance of critics
of cycling.

Crossposting of this sort can only increase the noise and hasten the
demise of u.r.c.

Unlikely. How old is u.r.c?

If that is what you want then carry on. If not then please stop.

Stop sticking-up for cyclists? Why would I want to do that? BTW, are
you a motorist?

But that's the point Doug, you don't stick up for anyone. Your only purpose
in life is to create disharmony and cause trouble.

Because if you STFU people generally will have a better opinion of
cyclists.

BTW, are you a motorist?

Are you currently receiving treatment for a psychiatric disorder?
Have you been diagnosed with a personality disorder or autistic
spectrum disorder? I'm not being derogatory, I might even be able to
offer some support if you answer in the affirmative. My email address
is valid and any correspondence is strictly confidential.

Doug, I don't like the way you 'stick up for cyclists' since it largely
consists of posting cut and paste of horror stories about killer
motorists that we are then supposed to believe are typical of all of
them. The same tactics that the Mail and Express use to smear asylum
seekers.
By posting - and especially by crossposting to uk.rec.cycling you bring
in those you have irritated to distraction. I think that I could have a
reasonable discussion with the likes of Steve Firth, for instance, but
not in the sort of thread that you start. A dialogue between the
motorist and cyclist could be interesting, but not in the kind of
environment that you have created in uk.transport.
You ask if I am a motorist, well if you want my green and cycling
credentials;
I have worked in a radical bookshop/publisher/community centre.
I have worked as a bike mechanic and co-director of a bike shop
(although all my mechanics knowledge is out of date)
I was a courier in London for about three years.
I have been a vegetarian for 30 years.
I have *never* driven a car.
I am now working to develop an ice-maker for developing countries driven
by biomass and solar energy.
I am 51

I am exactly the sort of person who should be on your side. I wonder if
you can understand why I am not.

Thus someone who puts his money and his efforts where is mouth is and to
whom credit is due for doing so.

Sadly, Roger, there's not a hope. It wouldn't matter what the cause is,
Doug's only purpose is to cause disharmony and trouble.

Roger Thorpe gurgled happily,
sounding much like they were saying:

Do you _really_ need to ask?

stop it, you're embarrassing me. And the research is government funded,
so it might be more accurate to say that i put *your* money where my
mouth is!

Merely a means to try and embarrass someone else.
