So a mate of mine pointed me to this group on Facebook (it's a group based in Oz, but same principles apply):
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6125389234&ref=share
It's the "Every time a cyclist is on the road i contemplate running them down" group, "A group dedicated to the hatred of cyclists riding on the road, especially along the coast"
Who's up for a
flame warconstructive discussion with these muppets? The group name has changed after I contacted the founder, it was originally something like ""Every time a cyclist is on the road i swerve to hit them"I messaged him expressing my displeasure and he replied:
"mate, i dont swerve, i dont do squat, i simply get annoyed like most at them taking an entire lane when im driving. i never said i support any reckless behaviour, its simply a group of people who dont like cyclists on the road. this is the internet, you dont have to read what i write. im no murderer, im not playing with peoples lives or telling people to go after cyclists.
know who i think i am? a normal person having their say. i dont think im above anyone, and im going to change the name of the group so people dont get the wrong idea. please read everything i have written on the page. as i think youve confused what others have said with things i have done.
the main reason im so against it is the cycling paths are provided yet not used."
Wanker. Have at it!
