Same author writes an article on the costs of safety and one complaining about ticket prices for part of the event.
@mdavidford it is now!
@ChrisA Absolutely, that is definitely the case. However the person of whom I'm thinking, and many others I see online, more or less blatantly say we should have more sympathy for the driver than the deceased cyclist, the attitude being almost how dare the cyclist by riding on an A road or at night or in fog or whatever have taken such risks that have now saddled the poor driver with a lifetime's trauma.
@mdavidford should be 'seeds being sowed', I think
@mdavidford sequins, surely? 😉
Yikes - don't think I'd want to go anywhere near anything where 'joy givers' are in operation - all sounds a bit Black Mirror.
Report from the front: it's already here - just check out any of many 'articles' on the Oxford Mail site, or some of the comments on the Abingdon Blog any time cycling is mentioned.
Is that a mixed media metaphor?
Has anyone else ever looked so self righteous and arrogant on a police mugshot?
It's slightly weird, the more expensive the bikes they dump on us, the more the industry looks in peril. Being someone who rides motorbikes as well as bikes, to say the cycle industry is taking the p155 is an understatement. 10 grand of motorbike buys you so much more than another average 10 grand bike that scores 3.5 in the reviews. Wake up guys and smell something, the golden goose is well and truly migrating.

Perfectly legal cutting through stationary traffic to filter down the outside. Impatient idiot driver trying to get 20m down the road so he could stop again.

Hi, sorry for any confusion: our live blog includes short stories with the main topics of conversation included the title. If you scroll down you should have found the post with a link to both our forum topic on the Bristol Post article and also a link directly to the article itself in the text. We’re still trying to improve the format of the live blog and would be glad of any feedback to make it more enjoyable – email us at info@road.cc or comment back. Thanks!

This is the best bit from the article…
“The cyclist comes perilously close to the cars driving behind.”
Just consider that sentence for a second.
The cyclist looks very
The cyclist looks very slightly unsteady as he starts moving, but that is certainly no rason to drive at him! He is very clearly visible and it is perfectly clear what his intentions are.
Isn’t it an offence to use your horn in this manner (ie. “It annoys me that you don’t have to wait in this traffic jam like I do, therefore I’m going to drive unnecessarily close to you and use my horn”)?
