surely bottles in hedgerows are not of cyclist origin. Please tell me we
don't do that.
I can't believe that any newspaper would advocate cyclist decapitation in
this way. If you substitute a race or a religion or a sex for the word
"cyclist", this would be illegal.
String him up!
(oh damn, personal petards etc}

I don't want my race, religion or gender/sexual orientation grouped with
cyclists as a minority that needs the law to protect it thank you very much.

Believe me, I could lay claim to membership of more minority groups than you
can shake a stick at but prefer to be called Vernon ;-)

Labelling or seeking a label to be identified by can lead to all sorts of
problems real and imaginary in this increasingly tribal society.

I certainly don't believe the frequent sightings of McDonalds
packaging beside roads 10+ miles from the nearest McD branch are due
to cyclists - would anyone who frequented McDonalds still be fit to
ride even that far? 🙂

I see Helen Simmons of Norfolk, who frequents this parish, has her
comment well up in the Have Your Say stakes.
