There is a sense here that these cyclists are trying to make themselves out as victims of some kind of holocaust or war.
Bingo, that's exactly what Donnachadh McCarthy want, despite the fact that sort of thing will put people off riding.

The most annoying thing is that I, as a cyclist, am now implicated by association in this epic, pious, antagonistic, self-righteous fail.
Are you a cyclist or do you just cycle?

Quite a few people "on here" are members of that Facebook group, but almost all of them were added by somebody else (typically the cock of a founder) so they may well not know this.

@William.
^strong post. There is a sense here that these cyclists are trying to make themselves out as victims of some kind of holocaust or war. The language is riding on the back of Rememberance Sunday. It's almost cultish, combined with the imagery. The fact that 'cyclists' is the very last word on the poster, shows they are trying to pretend it is not a single-agenda protest– which would be fine, were it not for the "all road users" bullshit. The most annoying thing is that I, as a cyclist, am now implicated by association in this epic, pious, antagonistic, self-righteous fail.
