more piss poor writing. i have ignored more interesting and better writen forum threads

Agreed, although I was suprised to see they actually think more people should cycle and that "Cycling is, unquestionably, a good thing.". Unfortunately you have to get past the "fucking red light jumping, undertaking, weaving all over the road, acting like they own the place even though they don't pay road tax"* rubbish to get to a more reasoned view.
Still a crap article though.*Not a direct quote.
Don't forget the emphasis on danger.

How the hell do they get away with publishing shit like this?

I increasingly think that the Mail is to blame here (not an original opinion, I know) but James Martin is obviously a simpleton who lacks the intelligence to understand the impact of the words being credited to him and the author of this latest drivel is, again, nothing more than a mouth-piece for the intolerance that is clearly pervasive at Mail Towers. Maybe we should pity the morons who are simply doing their paymasters' bidding and focus attention on the dangerous individual commissioning this rubbish. Any ideas?
-
^^ umm. They didn't. I changed some of the words to make a point that probably didn't need making. It was a bit facile really. Sorry.
...think I'll get back to work...
I see the point you made and I totally agree. They are saying cyclings great BUT.....
just like any piss weak racist bastard trying to make out that they're not racist. Insert Christian/Muslim/Jew in the same paragraph, then see what hapens next.We need some of that action.......
We should all form an official religion based around the bicycle, and worship it like any other religion, have sacred texts etc. If we had an officially recognised religion, all this crap we put up with on a daily basis would by law be illegal.
All hail Grand Master Velocio, in all his 531ness
checkthis out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion#Definitions_of_religionIn all seriousness I don't see, on the face of it how it could be that dificult to declare a religion. Maybe someone with some legal standing could chime in about now......

From the comments on the Robert Hardman drivel posted above:
The number of cyclists careering down London's pavements is horrific.
No one does a thing about it and an average of FORTY an hour speed down the street where I live, every time you open your front door you are at risk of being hit by one. (blah blah)FORTY an hour!!! So fast the author doesn't even have to give a full unit of speed! Must say though, this *Pavement Keirin *business really sounds like it's got a following in some areas.

This photo makes me want to move abroad. Whoever gave this eyesore the go-ahead needs to be put down.

There are so many fucking losers out there, having a little moan. Tossers.

For some reason, it reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D.

It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum!
I'm all outta gum.

^^Article says its pedestrianised and not a cycle path.
So let me get this straight. Rather than attempt to stop anyone cycling down the path (which they shouldn't be doing in the first place) the residents decided that it was fine to cycle on the pedestrianised path (essentially a pavement?) just so long as you're not "rampaging"?
And also:
The yellow and black plastic speed bumps were installed over the last fortnight after dozens of complaints by fed-up residents to Homes for Islington (HFL)...
How do the letters 'H', 'F', and 'L' stand for Homes for Islington? Did I miss something...?
-
Yes I did miss something.
Why does the article seem to be more about the "all car drivers to blame for collisions"* proposal than the actual story here? Bear in mind that the story isn't actually about a road...
*Not what the proposal says but certainly the angle this "newspaper" is going with.
