They have in the past, I imagine once they've vetted the responses,
they'll update the pages.

Lots of replies there now, including the predictably stupid. In fact,
the 'road tax' argument is duly trotted out unchallenged in the article
itself.

Claire Sutton managed to succinctly destroy cycling in one paragraph. Must
admit, I am thinking of becoming a walking instructor - surely there is a
gap in the market.

I'm sure Ms Sutton is an absolute saint as she drives her Tarquin and
Tamara to school in her 4x4 :-)

I've not even going to dignify her tirade with any comment.

....except mine :-( Possibly because I mentioned that many motorists
jump red lights, and we all know that The Media refuse to acknowledge
that inconvenient fact.

I sent:
"Claire, I wonder how safe the roads are with all these
"furious" people driving around in cars. Perhaps the roads
would be a lot safer if they did some exercise and cycled
instead. This would reduce their stress levels and calm
them down.
By the way more drivers break the law than cyclists,
endangering other road users far more."

I doubt it will appear.

Yes the Claire Sutton reply is a classic isn't it.

Don't forget the next bit:

"I'm envious of you, because while I sit here in traffic, with my
constant feeling of malaise because I'm unfit, I can't eat what I want
because I'll get fat through lack of exercise - I know as soon as you
get home you can eat half a tub of ice cream with no consequence at all"
