It’s finished on here but those of us in Sheffield will still have to deal with it. Like last night in the pub for instance. He’s a toxic presence in the cycling community spouting abhorrent views and trying to justify them in the name of freedom of speech. It may die down for a bit but I don’t doubt he’ll resurface online under some other psuedonyms. There’s evidence of cyber bullying, gaslighting, racism, sexism, islamaphobia and homophobia. Some people close to him excuse his behaviour as ‘bantz’ and ‘...that’s just Thom’ but these views are harmful and they directly affect and harm people I support in my professional life. Fuck him, fuck his views, fuck his brand and fuck his support of cycling in my community. He’s finally given us the evidence we need to make everyone aware of his toxic views. So thank you for that. Thanks to everyone involved in this thread too. Happy cycling!
