  1. OK, would any cyclists like to defend this:

    004%2F03%2F25%2Fn cars125.xml

    "Ooh, he was provoked"...

    I look forward to the mealy-mouthed, less than 100%
    condemnations.

    "Motorists do far worse"...

    I notice that all follow-ups for this have been directed to
    uk.tosspot, so replies are not appearing here.

    Don't feed the troll.

    Good screw-up for the return post, troll.

    It was discussed in uk.rec.cycling when it was actually
    news, with wide condemnation.

    Would you care to comment on the atentiveness of motorists
    who, I quote from the same piece - "Some of Carpenter's
    victims drove many miles unaware that their tyres were
    slowly deflating."

    This whole story is very regrettable, not least because it
    has precipitated a rant by Jennifer Selway in today's
    Express about cyclists; "I remember when cyclists knew their
    place, in the guard's van; one day they will wake up and
    realise that getting from A to B is much more pleasant in a
    car with air-con" sorry can't face reading any more ;-(

    LOL! Which of course explains why all those cyclists, with
    their above-average incomes, house ownership, car ownership
    and educational achievements, prefer to ride rather than to
    drive. Amazing, isn't it, the insight which car use gives
    into the relative merits of other modes of which you have no
    experience. She is obviously another Nugentoid.

    It promises to be a good weekend to be out on a bike
    unless you live in W London; half the South East and most
    of the Mail/Express readers will be in gridlock/arguing
    with cyclists on trains, travelling to the Ideal Home
    Exhibition ;-)

    Hmmm... Isn't the ideal home for an average Daily Mail
    reader somewhere on Mars?
