Alastair MacGowan and Mark Radcliffe were two of the more thoughtful contributors, from what I saw. As for the rest, apart from the Irish 'former cyclist' chap (Byrne, I think) I shall be blacklisting anything they appear in from now on. It's too easy to pick on cyclists for a cheap laugh: needless to say I had a sense of humour failure given some of the 'wit' on display. Taxi driver style ranting, most of it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3811#post-39994 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 13:50:06 +0000 DaveC 39994@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ Crowriver, so what did you do for the other 59 minutes? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3811#post-39976 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:32:58 +0000 crowriver 39976@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Watched this on iPlayer (so I could fast forward through the irrelevant bits), and the venom directed towards cyclists was considerable. Second only to traffic wardens in the hate list for motorists it seems! All the stereotypes: road tax, lycra, RLJ, shouldn't be on the road, etc.</p> <p>Interesting though that one minor celeb (they were all comedians) was a (former) cyclist and therefore sympathetic, save for castigating RLJers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3811#post-39938 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 23:03:36 +0000 wee folding bike 39938@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Grumpy motorists were on BBC 2 this evening.</p> <p>10 points and a brown loaf if you can guess what they said about cyclists.</p> <p>And then lots of them admitted to speeding.</p> <p>Boys went to Cub fun day in Coatbridge today. I let them have a camcorder in the trailer so I'm going to see what they were getting up to at 28 mph down the hill. </p>
