Hello,
Last year i attended the Wales velothon event as it passes clkose to my house, i had a new camera lens and wanted to take some photos of the event. I upoladed these to facebok in a group called photos of the velothon 2017. I am not affilitated with the velothon orginzation in any way however i still receive comments from people who dont like cyclists or the event or both. I always try to share these peoples views with the community so here is an excchange i have receoved latley from a Cardiff business owner who doesnt like cylclists.
If youhave a comment for him then perhaps share it via his tripadvisor feedback for as his shop i https://uk.local.yahoo.com/info-2053304658-cafe-du-chat-noir-ltd-cardiff;_ylt=A9mSs3DEmi1aIrUAPQhLBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEydGs0ZTRxBGNvbG8DaXIyBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjM0NzFfMQRzZWMDc2M-?p=cafe%20du%20chat%20noir
If you are in Cardiff it is best avoided unless you hide your cycling interest.
here is the exchange from facebook:

So you will be destroying small businesses best day of the week by wrecking havoc over the streets of cardiff yet again but this year on a Sunday’s

I should think that small businesses which have selfish, grumpy owners will be ruining their businesses all year round and won’t need any help from me.

Stuart J. Bolter Ha ha ha ! Your so funny, I’m actually talking about myself and ten other small independent traders who have a community spirit like no other in cardiff we have little old ladies and gentlemen along with young mums and students who are all happy to have us work and live and thrive in our community then suddenly fit one day several days a year we get huge events in Carfiff such as the Velethon come and destroy our businesses with Rd closures and diversions stopping us get to work or stopping our lovely customers get to us , in 2016 Cardiff closed Rd’s in and around the city 17 times at weekends one of them being Easter Saturday then in 2017 cardiff closed Rd’s 23 times for different events such as Velethon.
If you Lycra clad cyclists cared about the environment as much you proclaimed then you would be concerned about the entire environment including small businesses like us and all our he good work we do in the community and in only using organic produce with s lowest carbon footprint as possible but in reality you are not interested in community or environment your all only interested in your selves.
You are the ones who are sad for we shall rejoice take a day off and go away from cardiff to avoid the lot of you.So i would reccomended avoiding him and his shop for 365 days a year and not just on the velothon
Thanks

Yeah er bloody Welsh, pretend they don’t understand you in a gift shop, erm interfere with sheep, all miners, shit at rugby etc. Oh and jump red lights and don’t wear a helmet…I’m going to write him a shitty review just for being Welsh!Go for it! This sort of thing I support.
You started so well then your imagination just let you down… Gone to 1/10 as you’re not even trying now. I’d rather be any of those things that you mention than a xenophobe.
With regards to the Welsh pretending not to understand, when I lived near Chirk I would often be asked for directions to Langolen. I’d never heard of it until I Googled it and found it’s in France. I wish thick cunts would learn to speak properly as I often wondered whether they wanted Llangollen which is only a few miles further down the A5.
You could start with spelling it properly: Clangothlen would do. What you’re doing with Ll just isn’t cricket.
Try Thlangothlen and I’d put you in the right area and wouldn’t send you through Rhosllanerchrugog or Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog!
Blackadder: Have you ever been to Wales, Baldrick?
Baldrick: No, but I’ve often thought I’d like to.
Blackadder: Well don’t. It’s a ghastly place. Huge gangs of tough, sinewy men roam the Valleys, terrorizing people with their close-harmony singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the place names. Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick. You’ll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight.

I’d settle for ‘the town at the bottom of horseshoe pass’ 🙂
