On a generally related note..Social Media is fast becoming the referendum of the people. In addition to cases like the lost Yaughtsmen, take a look at the happenings in Egypt in 2011...powerful stuff this forum thing

It has also become the bully boy's weapon of choice.
 
I was reading some of the links to the bikers site. What I find odd is that some of the people who drive cars/ride m/bikes seem to have this perception that cyclists only cycle and that they have no other form of transport. We have bicycles, cars and a m/bike and I'm sure many others do too. I don't automatically assume that someone with a motorbike only has that and doesn't drive or cycle :wacko:

I was pondering that the other day whilst out riding my bike, but by the time I got home I had forgotten about it. My wife and I have three bicycles, we both have motorcycles and a car each. We have freinds that have these and ride horses too. What is it with the "them and us" muppets?
 
....maybe he's joined? No reason to block his registration.
 
she looks so young and just been recruited and very likely inexperienced. the force issues her clothing several sizes bigger so when she stays in the force long enough, she'll grow into that coat
I had a similar experience with a police woman a few years ago, when I started cycling in the centre of London. A taxi driver did something dangerous and threatening, so I went to a nearby policewoman to report it. She said it there wasn't much she could do, "he says, she says". I made a remark about needing a helmet camera, followed it by saying that wouldn't work because I wasn't wearing a helmet. That was something she could understand, so I got a lecture about wearing a helmet. She wasn't even willing to talk to the driver involved, but she thoroughly harangued me on the helmet issue.

(wasn't this woman as it was 4 or more years ago, so before she was born)

I was starting to feel a bit sorry for Alex / Alexander Mitchell, the Duccati owning Graphic Designer.

But I hadn't watched the video with sound because I was at work.

What sort of person asks, after knocking someone off their bike - "What the hell were you doing on your phone?" before "Are you ok?"

A sociopath, that's who.

Fair enough but it's not a big deal. It's gone far enough. I don't want him made homeless. He has plenty to reflect on right now. If any good comes out of this it will be that people realise that being a prat and posting your idiocy on social media can come at a high price.

If some people haven't twigged this already, what makes you think they are going to start now?

hi guys, i'm a ducati owner as well as a road cyclist and a mountainbiker. i assure you, not all ducati owners share the same mentality of the gentleman who ran over a cyclist somewhere in london. i posted my sentiments in a DUCATI FORUM of which i'm also a member

I don't think anyone here thought this idiot's behaviour was representative of all motorcyclists, let alone all Ducati owners.

He's a nob, but in no way does that reflect badly on the rest of our two-wheeled brothers and sisters.
