*This girl is pissed off that she didnt get on the ride. SHe knows nothing of its oragins ... and stands a chance of pissing off the awthoraties jepodizing the tweed run for next year. *
um...firstly, that's pure supposition. I saw NOTHING in what was written that suggested she was 'pissed off' at all. everyone who missed out was disappointed. Instead of bitching, she stood up and said 'Hey, hows about we organise something else? something regular?'
As for 'jepodizing' future events - that's utter fantasy. Are you telling me London cyclists are so scared of exercising their legal right to ride on roads they pay for that they will cower and stay away, and hurrah the bullying of those who want to ride, just in case someone thinks to penalise someone else who also rides? Utter nonsense, and not to be stood for.
Doffs hat to Teddy and Jaquie.
I see nothing in suggesting another ride in London that does anything but applaud and magnify their efforts. When another regular fashion/vintage-themed ride emerges (as it will) the participants/organisers will, to some degree, be standing on the shoulders of giants. Good. Everyone over that? No reason to hate? Hope so.
