For the love of fuck sake. I used to get less hassle riding everywhere on a brakeless BMX, save for the occasional, "Your bikes too small for you" comments, than we receive as a cycling niche.
I love how retarded the media can actually be. Sorry Sparky, I'm not criticising the treehugger site, so please do not take offence at this. I'm just criticising this type of article, which must be about the 10 such example that I've read in the last few days.
Everything is dangerous. There's always some cunt that does things badly, or is out of their depth, or hurts someone else in some way &c.
Living involves, much to many peoples hatred, dealing with the consequence of other peoples actions as well as our own.
One person's actions does not dictate that every other person included in a similar demographic will act the same way.
Believe it or not free choice exists and some people know how to exercise it without having to look to others to be told what they should be doing.
How can someone tell any of us what is right for us as human beings with generalisations. I'll admit some things make sense. Laws against Rape, Murder &c. But telling me what type of bike I can ride just because someone else says it may be unsafe, without them having made any effort to understand is a fucking joke.
What happened to common sense?
