  • As we all know reading the comments under a cycling article in a local rag can be a disturbing experience. Victim blaming, communal guilt and anti-bicycle bingo are all typical.

    I thought it would be nice to post the ''best'' of these, such as this beauty from the Birmingham mail

    Cyclists and pedestrians are unable to live together safely in the UK. Cyclists are a menace to themselves and others wit their blatant disregard for laws/ regulations that others obey- they jump red lights, cycle on pavements and place poor pedestrians (including small children) in constant danger.

    London is a great example of where cyclists have been given priority and protection over pedestrians (ep. by an over zealous mayor) and how it has all fallen part.

    Cyclists are inhumane!

  • Ha! Told myself not to open this thread (why make myself angry and shouty and despairing of the human race?) but clearly, my ability to resist reading your quoted comment @hairnetnic is about as poor as refraining from reading them direct. #shootmenow
