Daily Mail in cycling shocker!

I hope he fails to locate a working biro during an important phone call.

I'm bang into Sensodyne™ Total Care with Gentle Whitening.

I hope he gets the runs.

Whilst climbing up a ladder to retrieve Christmas decorations from the loft.

Charco can you please use an image host that is not blocked by my work proxy?

i hope he goes back on living with is ex-stepmother. and that it's his job to wash her.

Yeah, wash her hanging bacon.

Are you aware of your clients comments regarding cyclists and that they make him liable to a charge of dangerous driving?

I realise he is overweight but his jealousy of people thinner than himself who make an effort not to look like overfed gluttons is shameful.

I hope you drop him from your books soon!

We should all book tables and turn up in Lycra and blow airhorns in his restaurant. If a group of us did this every night for a week I think it might fuck up his business and force an apology.

Just you turning up in his restaurant would be enough punishment, drunk,lairy, shouty and swearing as usual, with your "I'm a cunt" t-shirt.

I'd pay to see that, but on video, not live.

Such a great idea :)

How can all cyclists vote for Harriet Harman? The only people who vote for her are her constituents in South London. He can't even be a misogynist, bigoted, right-wing twat effectively. WAC.

Yawn.

This kind of article used to be ten-a-penny before the press generally swung around in favour of cycling around 2003-4. Even the Guardian occasionally published the odd trashy column going on about how the writer hated cyclists for no apparent reason, just an emotional outburst.

Their number has been much reduced, but they are still going to appear once in a while, and the best reaction is simply to ignore them. RPM has got that right.

Having read that, there's really no point in taking what he says seriously, are people really naive enough to believe what he wrote is true?! he probably never even saw that car, let alone drove it. It's just gutter press.

But, this thread, blimey! someone nobody has heard of with a tiny column in a bit of a shit paper that nobody reads (the "readers" just look at the pictures) has a little pop, and you veggie, lefty, social worker, middle class, fondue eating, dreadlocked, trustafarian, vegan, green voting, unicycle-riding, vegetable eating, pulse farming, broadsheet reading, toilet paper recycling meat shunners get all defensive!

Cyclists eh!

Stuff like this is published only to get an emotional reaction. Yes, he does implicitly advocate terrorising cyclists, so if you need to react, the best reaction is to complain consistently to the PCC, who do occasionally take action, as with Matthew Parris some time ago.

This will be all around cycling forums in record time and complaints will accumulate. But don't get too worked up about this. It's happened before, it'll happen again, it'll happen very rarely. Positive articles about cycling will still abound, such as this one today:

Don't know if anyone's posted this one before, but I can't be bothered to start a thread. I might look around if there is an existing cycle chic thread somewhere.

Cycling is winning, and don't the petrolheads know it.

Oliver. IPCC is Independant Police Complaints Comission

Just the PCC for Press Complaints Comission

Cheers, daft typo!

Ha ha... epic DJ = one man army!

I hope he does a little dribble in his trousers after peeing and just before an important meeting.

hehe, nice quote from your article Oliver;

' — pare down bikes to their very essence, often even removing the handlebars.'

It's just moronic bicycle hatred today, isn't it?

i'd love a go on this:

Speaking from experience Clive?

God he is thick.

No where near a zero emissions vehicle - Where does the electric power come from?

Also the energy used to make one and how environmetally friendly are the batteries when they die?

However there are no 'emissions' from the car, which is totally true, that is not to say it is without environmental IMPACT. He's a cunt that seems not know what he's talking about, but it is zero emissions.

Positive articles about cycling will still abound, such as this one today:

"Fixed gear bicycle riders —“fixies” — pare down bikes to their very essence, often even removing the handlebars"
and
"there's not a tweed cycling cape in sight"
"there's less for London bike thieves to steal"

hmm

its cool, you can eat them with Hummus.

It's a shame that the wikipedia site has since been edited and James Martin is "no longer" a cunt.
