Why aren't you riding more than a door width away from parked cars?

Because the footpath is too narrow?

It is a well known fact that lorries barrel along footpaths.

Sure, I crash into the car door. But that is much better than being
squashed by the alternative.



Wouldn't it be much better to use observation & anticipation skill, as
required in the driving test?

Motorists are rarely, if ever, 'doored' despite travelling faster &
closer to parked cars.

But I do! Did you not read the part about braking hard and yelling
loudly? I am also rarely "doored"

So "legion and many-fold" that nobody has produced an example yet?

If it is "legion and many-fold" it should be easy to find lots of examples.


Once again, why would us trolls take the **** out of a concept that had
never come up?

Have some sense man.


So you can't find any examples and so resort to "I'm taking the **** out of it - it must be true"

You are an idiot.

But at least I have some comprehension skills.

The concepts of 'fridge freezer insurance' & 'impossible to go over the
handlebars' would have to exist before us trolls could start taking the
****.

Dave licks the soles of cyclists shoes when they are not looking.

Did that concept exist before I started taking the ****?

Comprehend that! Idiot.

Now, I know us trolls are all well above average intelligence, streets
above cyclists intelligence, highly creative and have an incredible
sense of humour. But do you seriously think we all have a good laugh
about concepts that have never been aired in the first place?

The utterly idiotic things psycholists come out with could fill a book.

Dave,

You are repeating the "I'm making fun of ot so it must be true" line.

You could of course provide some examples of where people have claimed here it is impossible to go over the handlebars (if only it had been said), but instead you continue to make yourself look foolish.
Carry on.

No I'm not.

How could we make fun of something that didn't exist?

I could, if I could be arsed. Trust me, it's been said many times.

but instead you continue to make yourself look

I rather think that's you. Keep digging.
