Mandy: did you really not see that this was a joke? Did you not read the last line? You truly thought that I was accusing you of murdering cyclists? That you wanted to kill them with a cow catcher? Read it again,and my previous post and you'll realise someone was actually supporting you. I am at a loss as to how anyone could not see that this was a joke; you must find most contemporary culture a living nightmare.
Will...i'm a grown woman...of course i know it was tongue in cheek...but it also didn't help the situation when i already had people coming at me from every direction.
I've said all i need to say on here now though so no hard feelings from my side of the pond.
I think this thread has exposed quite a few things though personally about both forums and the fickle nature of some people.
Nobodys opinion is WRONG...if you say something...be prepared to stand by what you say and not pretend it never happened...be polite to people...and as utopian as this next bit is...Try and treat people exactly the same on here as you would in real life.
Amen.

You know I read this entire thread and this is what I focused on:
the city of bristol is currently undergoing a multi-million pound upheaval of their road system to make it super cycle friendly.
What they gonna do, flatten it?
Ooh and one last thing about this concept of utopia, even if the predicted chaos ensued (which it shouldn't, because it's utopia), no-one would mind (because it's utopia). Such is the irony of perfection.
Great, I'm like the Spainish Inquisition, because I now have a third thing to say. The Monkey/Ape pics worked for me, so I think we need a LTFU (Lighten) Monkey for the next time threads like this go west

Just read this thread.
What a rollercoaster!
My tupence worth.“I hope that America is entering a post-’greed is good’ period. I can’t think of a single step that would change the nature of our society more than everyone abandoning their automobiles and cycling instead. There would be less dependence on oil, obesity levels would drop dramatically, and reflective bike clips would replace fancy ladies’ purses as the current must-have fashion accessory.”

just found this in ReadyMade magazine and thought you folks might appreciate it as turning to this page did bring a smile to my face, the article is online here, and you can download the poster in pdf... it should be a fixed bike if he wants to chat simplicity, but hey, works for me ;)
http://readymade.com/article/poster_children/P2/
dewar forgot to add how much happier/less stressed everybody would be! plus all the internet friends they could make.
Food for thought, at least.
Was he also wearing rose tinted spectacles when he wrote the article?
Let's put it into perspective for one moment.
So everybody abandons their cars...what then happens to these cars? Are they bought back by the government, then scrapped? Wasting more resources.
Then just imagine everybody who normally travels by car suddenly getting on a bike and hitting the road...imagine the chaos.
A lot of the people who already ride bikes aren't all that competent on the roads...imagine thousands of cyclists all trying to use the roads at the same time...all trying to turn corners at the same time. The number of accidents would undoubtedly rise...thus putting more pressure on the health service.
Most people already treat rain as if it's hydrochloric acid falling from the sky...can you really see them all donning waterproofs and cycling to work in torrential rain everyday?
It's all to easy to say ditch the cars and get everyone on bikes...but it really isn't that simple.
And i speak as somebody who has never driven a car and always cycled.
But i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions on the subject.
Anyway...great forum!Intelligent commentry.
Mr Waffle: admit it; you've murdered cyclists haven't you? You've beaten them to a mass of blood stained high quality Rapha clothing using half a cow catcher taken from the front of your sports-tuned Suzuki jeep. And you've laughed while you did it, a loud crazed laugh of glee and derision. Isn't that the truth Mr Waffle? I think it's too late for denials.
If you aren't a petrol sniffing cyclist killing madman then why else would you fail to be moved to tears by possibly the finest article ever written, possibly the finest piece of writing, full stop? A piece of writing that, in it's uplifting tone of hope and joy makes the Gettysburg address sound like the suicide note of piss stained alcoholic?
Wouldn't you just feel better if you stood up now, in your living room or kitchen or conservatory or wherever it is you type out your hate filled anti-cyclist death threats and said "I am a killer of cyclists. I beat them to death and I am sorry". Wouldn't that be a relief?BTW; sometimes I make my point by saying the opposite of what I really mean. :)
Very very funny.
a lot of people here seem to know each other in the real world
Good point.
That sir is an ape not a monkey. If your going to try to calm things please chose the correct simian.

IMHO we just need to cut down all the trees to build bikes. Fixed!

That sounds eerily like Mme Platini - you must be related. Well, we're all Northerners...
