Default 'Cycle track' residents up in arms

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...s-8822714.html

One man from Esher is so fed up of being ‘kettled by Lycra louts’ on bikes, he
has started a petition

It’s the sort of language you’d expect to hear from an anti-capitalist
campaigner, but residents of Surrey are claiming they are being "kettled" by
"Lycra louts" on bikes.

Ian Huggins, 68, a resident of Esher, has started a petition entitled "Stop
Surrey being turned in to a cycle track" and claims repeated races are hurting
local businesses and leaving residents "confined to their homes" because of
road closures.

They are ill-mannered, they are rude, they abuse the laws of the road and are
abusive when you challenge them. It’s not a minority of cyclists, it’s the
majority who behave like this."

Cyclists have been see defecating on a local green (New Forest)

No surprise there then - selfish *******s

I tried. On pressing the Sign button the website produces an alert box
with a blank space where the warning message should be.

Post corrected.


On Surrey roads so far this year there have been.............
191 Time Trials
46 Road Races
70 Sportiv Events
9 Triathlons
(Source Surrey Police)
There have been 4 events that warranted partial or full road closures.
Serious accidents involving cyclists (not involving motor cars but
simply falling off or colliding with other cyclists) have risen from 49
to 122.

The person posting the above message is using an alias. It is is in fact
a well known troll called Jimdeth who might be a man, or might be a woman.

I expect you will now be spammed from here to kingdom come.

I guess it will depend if he used your email address or his own.
