With a few links to her site conversations like this will come up pretty highly when here business is googled. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13395#post-164332 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 10:29:38 +0000 I were right about that saddle 164332@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>She's probably just a deranged blowhard. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13395#post-164331 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 10:25:08 +0000 kaputnik 164331@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What on earth does she mean by "assertive action"? Driving them off the road? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13395#post-164319 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:23:58 +0000 fimm 164319@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Here's the Rat Race route: <a href="http://www.ratracecoasttocoast.com/course/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ratracecoasttocoast.com/course/</a></p> <p>It doesn't seem to use the A82 at all - or maybe just a bit coming into Fort William. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13395#post-164317 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:07:27 +0000 amir 164317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I feel sorry for the woman - she has got quite a distorted and angry view of the world. No doubt her business may suffer as a result of her stupidity. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13395#post-164315 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 08:46:36 +0000 Min 164315@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Road safety campaigners the A82 Partnership said last week that it was “cycling madness” that the riders taking part in the event would be passing along that stretch of road at the same time as more than 250 people taking part in the Rat Race Coast to Coast event from Nairn to Ballachulish were travelling the other way.</em></p> <p>Erm , the rat race doesn't use the A82, it is on the other side of the loch.</p> <p>So the usual disgusting threats against a certain class of tourists who aren't driving cars. I suppose the police will find <em>no evidence </em>of her "assertive actions" despite the fact she is crowing about them in the press. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13395#post-164307 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 00:10:25 +0000 Snowy 164307@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://road.cc/content/news/129499-highland-businesswoman-urges-assertive-action-against-cyclists">Highland businesswoman urges "assertive action" against cycling events on A82 next weekend</a></p> <p>Anita Nicholls [said] “I am great supporter of tourism as a key element of boosting the local economy, but not to the detriment of local business and the health and wellbeing of Lochaber residents”</p> <p>Health &amp; wellbeing being damaged by a few hundred cyclists on the A82? Surely some mistake?</p> <p>And isn't the bit about boosting the local economy while simultaneously damaging local businesses a little bit contradictory?</p> <p>A bad case of 'get off my roads and get out of my way'... </p>
