I could have been KILLED, just how many people do cyclists kill every year and get away with it? They don't even pay tax! Next time I'll give him a good kicking and put a stick through his spokes. He wasn't even wearing a helmet. ROADS WEREN'T MADE FOR BIKES! They're all just too poor to afford cars and wear sandals and read the Guardian and are vegetarian. Stupid lycra was really offensive, why can't they dress properly? I was held up by one going 2mph the other day, he was weaving about in the middle of the lane, I only just managed to get past him but it was really dangerous for him to be there and force me to overtake in the face of oncoming traffic with parked cars on the street and speed bumps and small puppies running out into the road. I don't know why I bother with this council being so anti-car and creating traffic where it wasn't before, it's all a WAR ON THE MOTORIST! Petrol should be cheaper, it's only so expensive because the government gives in to whingeing environmentalists. I call them environ-mentalists. The cycling lobby is too strong, something needs to be done about it to make the roads safer for people to go about quickly, which we could do if those stupid 20mph zones were axed I drive at 40 on that road and it's perfectly safe if the kids that live around there would stay off it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4515#post-47869 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 15:03:11 +0000 Nelly 47869@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"many Facebook pages are plagued by bogus friends"</p> <p>I thought that was the point of facebook...........</p> <p>;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4515#post-47868 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 15:03:04 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 47868@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>TRAMS! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4515#post-47867 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:49:00 +0000 amir 47867@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15869683" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15869683</a></p> <p>Not me! </p>
