Frankly - I just do not believe you.


I am assuming that you know what "every" actually means?

Please can the OCD group offer some help for JNugent.

Thanks in advance

Never thought of Nugent as OCD, what's he said? Simon and Steve are OCD.

Virtually every post from Nugent is negative, as is Cheerless.

No - almost every post which Mr Nugent makes has something very positive to
say.

Just because he points out the shortcomings of many cyclists that does not make
his posts negative at all: in fact a very positive contribution.

(At least he is not obsessed about his "wealth" and does not need to share
with us what his supposed annual income is, what his supposed pension pot is,
or how much his latest cycle bell cost. I suspect that he, like many here,
takes many of such obsessive posts with a pinch of salt: - a very positive
response)

Agreed.

Boris's helmet is loose, that's highly dangerous :-)

Never thought of Nugent as OCD, what's he said? Simon and Steve
are
OCD.

Virtually every post from Nugent is negative, as is Cheerless.

Since when did OCD mean "being negative"?

*Constantly negative*.

No, still not OCD. OCD is like Simon and Steve, insisting everyone
goes
30mph, not 31mph, because 31 is more than 30 and is as bad as 150.

Do you want a 2 or 5 minute argument?

In fact, I am always positive about cycling. There is nothing wrong
with
bikes and cycling.

But there is (nowadays) something seriously wrong with the
behaviour and
attitude of a majority of cylists.

I don't see that in my area.

It nevertheless is the way the world wags nowadays.

Try looking at the Youtube videos of the half-lunatic who calls himself
"magnatom".

Look at a couple of Simon Mason's videos as well.

There are absolutely loads of others.

And even if rogue-cycling is not common round your way, you must from
time to time travel beyond the bopunds of the parish where you reside.

And if you ever get to London... well...

I drove to Kings Cross/St Pancras stations about 2 months ago to pick up
my son and his family. His train was delayed for 90 minutes so I drove
around for an hour. Every cyclist I saw was riding properly, even Boris
Johnson who stopped at traffic lights next to me.
Some of the taxi drivers were a nightmare though.

You stopped next to Boris? Cool, did you give him a wave/alternative sign?

No.

Why on earth not?

He said "every cyclist I saw". He wasn't including the ones he ran over, which were more likely to be the ones in the wrong place.

You don't have to persuade me, I never do anything safe. I don't even wear a seatbelt.

I could make a comment on dickheads, but I think he's an excellent politician.

You have to be using some non-standard definition of "properly".

It is normal (in the sense of "usual") for cyclists in London to disobey
every traffic regulation that they can possibly break.
