too many victim complexes. this 'us vs them' mentality on here does us no favours.
cunts exist in cars and on bikes. just 'cause someone rides, doesn't necessarily mean they're automatically on 'our side', nor does it mean we cyclists are never at fault/blameless, especially not ones who seem to get in to problems every week, when no-one else seems to.
I'm sorry to have to add to this...as I really wanted to stay out of this petty load of bollox...(the lpg war...not the dj got a smack incident)
Lpg...You ride around daily? in heavy traffic...and do not have incidents like this happen to you all the fucking time?
I say you're talking utter shite...
I ride daily and can guarantee that if I am on my bike for more than an hour or two,...that I will encounter a situation where someone will either cut me up really badly or some other major infringement of my space that would result in injury unless I take evasive action...Yes...an us and them mentality does no favours, but then neither does shifting blame because you have a problem with the person in question.
You may have an axe to grind with James...and as I don't know either of you it makes little difference...
However...placing the onus of blame on him....when its pretty fucking obvious that its almost always the vehichle drivers fault...and generally speaking...it is...almost always there fault...they are mostly fucking hopeless...and yes..I do know cyclists that make me hold my head in my hands as to how shockingly bad she is...though the majority of the people in this forum have a good deal of road knowledge and savvy..
so...whinging on about it being james...is fucking pathetic...and makes you look like a grade A twat...or something else that is rubbish..
Had to say that...I get into a lot of scrapes...thats not my fault...I could be more forgiving...though to be honest...if they have just been bloody ignorant and cut you up ...why should I say ...oh...its ok? if it's an old lady/mother with children I do...(they usually say sorry ) if it's anyone else...I shout...loudly...
And one other thing...Bigtwin...You're a misogynist, transphobic and a bigot...I've been dying to tell you for a week or two now...and making derogatory comments about women that would beat you in a sprint...in a cycling forum...is just plain fucking stupid.. so shut the fuck up...You ill eductated cunt....
