Councillor Michael Stanton is a cunt

Whilst the way the article comes across does not show the Councillor in a good light and certainly comments about heading to Switzerland for an assisted suicide are way out of line, I do agree with the sentiment of how invisible recumberents are to other road users. A recumberent is pretty much invisible to a car driver if alongside, let alone larger vehicles.
From a personal viewpoint, there is no way I would condsider riding one on public roads under any circumstances.
Oh and whilst I'm maybe making enemies, that picture of a pick-up is not representative of the size of the average pick-up truck found on the roads in the UK.

May I request that you look around more as if you can see a recumbent then children, kittens and bollards are in danger.

He also seems to fit the ford f100 truck purchaser.

As a car driver as well as a cyclist, I have no problem with recumbents and I'm sure it's the same for everyone.

If someone chooses to have a problem then that's up to them.... Councillor Stanton sounds like someone who shouldn't be on the road in any vehicle.

I have problems with the operators of vehicles and never the vehicle.
