Should Fixed-Gear Bikes Be Allowed on the Road?

the main thing that provoked me was his piss poor attempt at writing.........it was insulting.

I get especially bothered with any "Green" bandwagon jumping, particularly when it's carelessly thought out and poorly executed.

Can we have a poll to BAN fucking CANADA

** The "movement" I talk about is to gain rights for cyclists to have safe bike lanes, educated drivers and more cyclists year round. it is a battle here**

This is what gets up my nose, these days I get drivers tooting and trying to push me off the road because they think I ought to be in the cycle lanes that people like this canadian geezer is fighting for. Yet anyone who rides a bike 'all year round' will tell you that it is in the cycle lanes that you have to be doubly alert because you have - NO ROOM TO MANEOUVRE - inevitably you have to go half the speed that you would normally be going out in the traffic.

I really object to people politicising cycling on my behalf all they are doing is forcing their ideas down my throat

Well I hope he doesn't put 'journalist' in the box that asks what your profession is.
Professional shit-stirrer maybe, but not a journalist.

Oh what bad luck, nevermind eh ;)

Sparky My point was just that not everyone is an expert on everything. I posted the link so that you could, if you wanted, drop a comment on the article, or take part in the survey, to educate people who don't know about fixed gear bikes.

I'm curious - will anyone be educating Lloyd (who I won't throw a *personal *insult at as others have done, but appears to be totally professionally inept) as to fixed gear bikes? Will he ever be correcting his intro/survey so that it gives the correct information?

My boy said, "should fixed gear bikes be allowed on the road?
Do you think -
a) cheese;
b) a headache;
c) Tom Stoppard; or
d) trade unions?"

While I admire everyone for perverting the survey, without the correct information it makes as little sense/is as pointless as the above question.
