Checklist ready?

endless pandering to the two-wheeled brigade

it feels as if they’ve taken over the capital’s road system

they contribute nothing financially

cycling in London or any major city is extremely dangerous

I'm inclined to agree with his view on peddlers, but would have thought they inconvenience pedestrians rather more than they do chauffeurs.

 

[glenn forger]

the balance has been tipped too far in the peddler’s favour

Can't believe I missed that.

 

[Globalti]

What's peddling got to do with this? Or is it drug peddling?

Cyclists are pedallers, I think.

I've just read it; it seems like a pretty balanced view. I gave up riding with a club because the rudeness and aggression shown by a few members towards drivers embarrassed me. Too many cyclists are suffering that malaise of the miserable and resentful; they know their rights but somehow they forget the responsibilities that come with those rights.

Quite an interesting website actually; well-written in good English (pedlling apart) with a couple of links to other articles he's written. To someone who sometimes gets to host large African and middle-eastern families in Manchester, a lot of that rings very true indeed.

Tedious story we've read many times before.

Check.

Just another thicko. Click bait.

My chauffeur doesn't mind cyclists at all.

Some cyclists in London are indeed a danger to themselves and other road users, but his article is rubbish.

 

[Drago]

The author is something that rhymes with 'pecker'. Its the old "I'm not racist, but..." adage applied to bicyclistrians.

 

[slowmotion]

Complaints about Fenton were few and far between.

Can't be much of a chauffeur going by his vehicle,

So can anyone explain to me how a cyclist can leave a deep gouge in the paintwork down one side of my people carrier, be fully aware that he’s done it, ignore the shouts of the driver and simply ride off into the sunset?

Not exactly a Limo then.

Chauffeurs can drive many different vehicles. I know this

Ex-military personal security specialist, licensed close protection operative and trained protection chauffeur. Extensive experience as both driver and bodyguard for senior executives, high net worth individuals and celebrities.

I guess it was while a cackling cyclist was carving his minivan/limousine up that Andy's close protection training kicked in and he sat there motionless.

Most of em refer to themselves as drivers though.
Talk about calling a spade an earth inverting implement.
