I seem to have outed some of the reasonable ones, they've still got ingrained hatred and cannot see the nonesensical in what they write though.

 

Having said that, one of my Facebook friends responded to me sharing the Boardman video with the usual "wrong is wrong" videos, completely missing the size of each problem and the likely damage. Worry is he's a father and local councillor!

I went subtle:

 

Username: YouMumsAreLovely

 

Are you all mums?

Because I really fear for the future of society if this is the kind of educating you're engaged in!

Just to clarify, how much are you willing to pay for your Chardonnay to have a number plate on her Peppa Pig trike and be tested for her driving abilities? Or rather, do you prefer to hurl swear words at her whilst she gets fat on turkey twizzlers inspired by diamond crush on her knocked off iPad?

Like a weasel in a rabbit warren.

 

Keep up the good work.

I put the stars in, in case I offended any gentle souls here blush - the OP on Mumsnet used the full and unexpigated sweary words...

The original one isn't censored. So you aren't trusting Brooksby in this case.

Edit: slow reading and posting meant duplicated points.

What about this one, from someone called 'picklypickles'?  I wonder if they live in the New Forest?

Quote:

I absolutely **** hate cyclists with a passion, I live in a national park and they swarm like **** flies here and cause nothing but trouble. They ignore the beautiful cycle paths through moorland and forests so that they can sit 3 abreast in the middle of EVERY SINGLE road, not even pedalling just **** sitting there admiring the scenery and chatting amongst themselves while a huge stream of traffic builds up behind them for mile after mile, or they hurtle through little villages flying around blind corners without a single thought for pedestrians/horses or anything else. They are deliberately antagonistic, trying desperately to kick off some altercation with anyone they can so they can post their stupid headcam footage on social media and have everyone tell them how righteous they are. **** pricks the lot of them.

Too slow AND too fast, again

Sorry, I could only stomach a few posts. They were less rabid than I expected though.

I like this one that raises a question that more cyclists should be asking about PPE on the roads:

Quote:

“Was she wearing hi-viz”

Why? Are we all supposed to wear hi viz now when walking on pavements in case a cyclist on the pavement wishes to speed along the same pavement? [confused]
