Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

"Criticising the cyclist is a dangerous game."

Ow, booh, fucking-hoo.

Seems to be a run of the mill story about how the average cyclist you see in just normal clothes "isn't the norm" and you should focus your eyes on mamils. The idea anyone is just trying to cycle to work or the shops or whatever is crazy and you shouldn't think that or whatever. Guessing it's vanished as pointing out the average cyclist isn't lycra clad is just too easy.

is she going hand the cash she got paid to write that pile of slop back to the cuntygraph on account of it getting pulled?

i hope she fucking dies. slowly.

Surely paid double, got a whole new load of unique hits that would never normally be on their site.

Stupid people on bikes. Wow must be the only place ever.

Also are cyclists the only red light jumpers?

No mention?

So do you think that the driver is telling the truth?

The driver didn't say anything apparently it's all from the passenger.

probably. awful thing to happen. what's it got to do with anyone other than her and the cunt that did it?

Ah, in that case was she so polite?

I do like maybe the car was too close, not that the learner was incorrectly positioned and did not give sufficient space, and poor supervision.

Slow news day and balance out the cyclist injury articles.

that baby's kipping its head off FAKE

'We wuz just minding us business and he smashed the window for no reason.'

Seems legit.

Look, he's fast asleep, and his face is pixilated, that's well suspicious:

I was thinking how did he manage to not only smash the window but then go around the edges to make such a good job of it... Then having "continued driving" how did the glass stay balanced on the edge of the door like that and not blow in/out... But yeah sure he did that with 1 swing...

That glass probably didn't stay balanced on the edge like that from when it was smashed in, that's probably just how it all ended up when they did finally stop. That particular bit probably just fell off as the car came to a final stop. Likewise it looks like they went round the edges but that was probably just the remaining glass falling out as the car drove on for a bit.

Anyway, my point is that you can't read anything into the state of the glass in the photo. It could easily have ended up like that given the way they described things in the article.

I don't mind a bit of theatrical car slapping if someone does something particularly stupid and dangerous but smashing a window in with a lock, baby or not, is stupid escalation. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that.

Wing mirror always a better bet.

I've always had a soft spot for the smashing of car windows with D-locks ever since reading Hugh Culley's, the immortal class.

In the grand scheme of motor related carnage this shouldn't even register, but as ever, because it's a cyclist there will now massive man hunt to bring this guy to justice follow by a far harsher sentence than that bitch in the Q7 will get.

Anybody know why Epstein's latest rambling have been pulled by the Torygraph ?

My guess is because of the avatar of the embedded tweet in the article.

Seems so:

Still visible to me, and others:

haha amazing.

She seems very proud of how much of an insufferable cunt she is.

She needs to be melted down for glue.

Andrew Gilligan was on road.cc making pointed comments about "crap freelance journalists" when asked about her piece on R4. I lol'd.
