Discuss!

Eco-friendly saviours of the planet or self-regarding maniacs who represent hazard to road safety? Cyclists divide opinion like Marmite. Don’t miss this chance to saddle up and have your say.
On Monday 30th November 2009, The Spectator is hosting another political debate chaired by Andrew Neil, at Savoy Place, London, WC2R 0BL between 6.00pm - 8.30pm.
Seating is limited so we would strongly recommend booking.

I hate cyclists

I am a self-regarding maniac so fair enough.

Of course, those fncking cnuts.

Another 'controversial' debate because a minority activity is 'threatening' established interests by becoming more normal. Yes, let's just do some pointless emotionalising of the issues and carve people up into two sides of a 'debate'.

Yaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

i agree.
their chosen topic is worded in such a totalising way too - 'are cyclists a menace' - one giant collective menace?

they should have been clever and wordy where they were pedestrian and rhetorical

personanace.
