Thanks greatly for the excellent compliment coming from YOU.
My bike is an excellent convenient healthy exhilarating convenient

It really is a very great compliment to be called grossly stupid by YOU.
Especially by YOU.
And I have no ****ing interest in looking good in YOUR eyes.
After all I ride a bicycle.
And we all know what YOU think of bicyclists. You think they are the
****witted pits of humanity.
And because it is YOU who think that,Â* that is an extremely great

We must be doing something right.

Cyclists v drivers? They're often the same people.

Much has been written about a war between cyclists and drivers, as if
the two groups were such polar opposites that they could never cross in
a Venn diagram. But according to new research, people who cycle the most
are likely to own at least two cars.

Regular cyclists – those who cycle at least once a week – are also
disproportionately likely to read broadsheet newspapers, be well
educated, have a household income of at least £50,000 per year and shop
at Waitrose, claims the latest Mintel report, Bicycles in the UK 2010.
In addition, they are twice as likely to be men as women.

I just use a bike mostly because it is most convenient, I love the fresh
air and feeling of movement and exercise, and ....
Owning a car and being rich has nothing to do with it.

I guess the Guardian is wrong then, or cyclists wouldn't yell at drivers
all the time.
I don't yell at drivers all the time.
I use my voice like a car uses (or is supposed to use) a horn; as a
warning that unless someone does some kind of avoiding manoeuvre, a
clash may happen.
Note, it is only an indecipherable shout; not an oath or plashemy or
foul language or insult or something.

That is not the purpose of a motor vehicle horn.

It is intended only to alert other road-users to one's presence. It is
not intended to convey the message: "Get out of my way or there might be
a crash". I such circumstances, you are supposed to slow down or stop.

Since horns are rarely, if ever, used for their legallt-intended
purpose, my view - for a long time - has been that rather than being a
C&U requirement, they should be banned except for the ones used on
official emergency vehicles.

Note, it is only an indecipherable shout; not an oath or plashemy or
foul language or insult or something.

It's hard to escape the conclusion that you're just supposed to stop in
order to avoid a collision.

Funny, I've never had to yell at a motorist on my bike, maybe you should
cycle more carefully?
