    Highland businesswoman urges "assertive action" against cycling events on A82 next weekend

    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”

    Health & wellbeing being damaged by a few hundred cyclists on the A82? Surely some mistake?

    And isn't the bit about boosting the local economy while simultaneously damaging local businesses a little bit contradictory?

    A bad case of 'get off my roads and get out of my way'...

    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.

    Erm , the rat race doesn't use the A82, it is on the other side of the loch.

    So the usual disgusting threats against a certain class of tourists who aren't driving cars. I suppose the police will find no evidence of her "assertive actions" despite the fact she is crowing about them in the press.

    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.

    Here's the Rat Race route: http://www.ratracecoasttocoast.com/course/

    It doesn't seem to use the A82 at all - or maybe just a bit coming into Fort William.

    What on earth does she mean by "assertive action"? Driving them off the road?

    She's probably just a deranged blowhard.

    Another business individual looking for the SEO equivalent of the Darwin award. With a few links to her site conversations like this will come up pretty highly when here business is googled.
