Don't read the comments!

Some very pleasant, deep thinkers commenting on that story.

Putting the kettle on now for a cuppa to dissipate the rage.

The standard are obsessed, this must be 3rd major story on cycling on tower bridge in the last 3 days.

Anybody would think people were being killed, rather than a few near misses and some nuts being knocked on the floor.

yeah, yeah it's wrong and all but is it 'news' or just click bait.

Some of the rebuttals are 10/10 e.g.

If it wasn't for those who sacrificed their lives all these cyclists would be riding German bikes, if they were even allowed to ride bikes, they should have respect.

Trifecta Replying Booya 9:10am Wed 19 Oct 16

For once, Booya, you have posted something with a tiny factual element. The Nazi party were very anti bike and pro automobile which given that Adolf was a bicycle messenger in the "Great War" was somewhat ironic.

But the Germans do make some very good bikes.

serviceman

a former member of the merchant navy

Get in the fucking sea.

some are quite funny

Enjoyed that

There appears to be a corrleation of my 'friends' who shared that on facebook with my 'friends' who share 'The x want to take away the poppy/england flag/benefits' posts

Just came here to post ^^^that, as it was posted by a "friend" on Facebook who fucking hates people who cycle so much he ends up doing that spittley mouth rage thing when he talks about it.

I really want to see his face now, as everyone he knows has commented 'oi m8, u kno no1 payz road tx, u fkn dckhed yeh?'

Isn't life too short to have such friends?

It takes more effort to find the button to block/delete him than it does to just go "meh" and ignore him

I love that the picture he has used shows a car in the advanced cycle lane

Fuck me, the amount of cunts who think Teresa May is actually supporting this is absurd.

life: if you have a car you need to pay tax for the emissions and insurance in case of an accident.
me: cool well, i dont need a car, i'll just get a bike; it's greener, healthier an all round better option.
morons: that's not fair, if i have to pay so should everyone. Cyclists are a nuisance ridding two wide A LAW UNTO THEMSELFS.

sigh

One of my ex-colleagues posted this, FFS guy should know better.

Not rising to the bait...

Why is @greenhell posting on a Norwegian security forum?

Because nowhere is safe? :)

What do they say ?

"My wife came off her bike when it slipped from under her. She was almost stationary in a cul-de-sac with not a car in sight.
"Would probably be dead or severely incapacitated if not wearing a good helmet."

Probably my favourite so far.

To be fair that is exactly the kind of thing a helmet is designed to protect against.

Or rather that's the only thing a helmet is capable of protecting against.

This seemed the best place for this;
