It's obvious that the "Cyclist kills pedestrian" story has caught the imagination of the public at large.
Why?
Last night on my ride home from the office I stopped at the lights, got my self ready for the off, looked right at the car by my side to make sure he wasn't indicating left and was on the receiving end of this:
GET OFF THE ROAD YOU ****ING LYCRA MURDERER
I've had accidents, been egged, chipped, coke canned and nudged but this actually made me cry when I got home (note to self - HTFU!). I've never been so angry, offended and upset all at the same time while on my bike and not mulling over an argument with my wife.
I'm 37 years old, I ride responsibly, I don't say boo to geese unless they warrant it, and well...Jeezus...what the **** is happening to people and their manners???????
I see this as an ongoing symptom of the war in the Gulf, Asylum seekers, Daily Wail syndrome in that if one "insert stereotype here" does it then they all do it and are all at fault.
