Daily Mail in cycling shocker!

Don't give their site any more hits.. they might think we care about their opinion.

What a douche

Everytime someone links to the Daily Mail a really cute kitten gets kicked to death.

everytime someone links to the daily mail a really cute kitten gets given cancer then kicked to death by a lycra-wearing wind turbine.

ftfy

Anyone called Petronella needs a kick in the cunt

She did have sex with Boris Johnson. Is that not punishment enough?

She's endured unimaginable degradation, poor girl. Mind's a frazzled piece of bacon. Now she's reduced to pimping her mum out with implausible re-hashed lycra-lout stories. Boris used to ask the cabbies to put an opera tape on whilst he fumbled with Petronella in the back, trufact.

here we fucking go again

'Lycra louts whose intentions are as low as the meanest hit-men'

Yeah, only a slight over exaggeration

Epic trolling from the daily heil.

I had the misfortune to listen to LBC today - was taking my mum to hospital to visit my dad, and she likes to listen to this station for some strange reason. The phone-in was about this subject, and the presenter (called Petrie, but not the same person that appeared in the Mail) was inviting callers to talk about 'cyclists hitting pedestrians only, not other types of collisions thank you'. Some guy called in, he had just done a triathlon, so she took the piss out of his clothes - don't know how she could see them, although he might have been on a video call or something. He then got cut short when he was talking about sharing the road and other raod users having collisions. Then a coach driver phoned in and was allowed to talk about cyclists going on pavements, not using lights, undertaking, jumping red lights and not signalling. He had some fair points, and some not-so-fair points, but it really struck me that the whole show was so one sided - drivers could moan about cyclists but when cyclists phoned in they were not allowed to moan about anything....

I am a cyclist who likes to moan about cyclists

I'm a moaner who likes to moan while cycling

I hope her child starts talking jafaican

Petronella should spent less time writing shite and more time teaching her old sot of a mother the Green Cross Code.

Hi knightlancer.

Whilst I think that the newspaper is biased against cyclists (as are other sections of the press), and this particular article very badly written, it seems that the lady that had been hit by bicycles twice had, at least on the first occasion, been crossing correctly, the cyclist had jumped a red light.

I. Think. Knightlancer. Was. Joking.

Its Lynx. Twice run over. I think she lied the first time as how many pegs cross without the looking. Twice tells me she is myopic moron who was lucky not to have been run over by some thing that would have really hurt.

Sorry, sense of humour fail - brought on by listening to LBC for 2 hours today....

That'll do it!

Don't give their site any more hits.. they might think we care about their opinion.

What a douche

hippy's alright, really.

I'd say that while peds use their pegs to cross the street, perhaps you meant 'peds'? :)

And, by the way, hippy's right--just safely ignore this 'column'. There'll be another one along sometime (although their frequency has gone down compared to some years ago). Texts like that are only designed to stir boring pretend-controversies and to sell newspapers. Ignore them and they'll go away.

Reading the comments (not just those of this article), it seems that there's a tiny (perhaps imagined) pro-cycling shift. A couple of years ago they would've said 'There are no good cyclists'; now they say 'There are some good cyclists'.

I've written a big rant about these articles, which I was going to pop here, or in the rant thread, but I think I'll throw it in my unloved blog instead :)
