It seems that some people actually believe that this is a "solution"

 

[PhilDawson8270]

I particularly like

"According to the BBC the Department of Transport between 2001-09 there were 18 pedestrians killed by cyclists with a further 434 seriously injured, again by cyclists."

Wonder how many cyclists were killed by motor vehicles during that time......

 

[redvision95]

Or how many people were killed by/on motorcycles?
If we used their mindset, motorcycles, cars etc need to be banned
(coming from a wr450 owner/rider)

Rather heartening was that the (presumably) motorcyclists who frequent the forum overwhelmingly called it out as the utter bollocks it was

I like the caveat

P.S. Don’t get us wrong, there are dumb drivers too, but at least we can find out who they are.


Given that is has been demonstrated many times how incredibly efficient the "failure to provide details" method is at preventing prosecution of serious offenses.

A website developed by morons, for morons. What's not to like.

This is one of their stories, reproduced in full:

''Dem London cyclists so bad I move to Australia.''

This bit, from one of the hairy bottomed bikers, tickled my wossname:

best sorted out with a quick bout of fisticuffs and some mother-based insults

OMG! 18 pedestrians! Killed!

This walking thing must be banned immediately.

Lol.

The Forum has a "Karma" system. Essentially self moderated by users, people up and down vote posts. Too many down votes and it hides it You will have to click to unhide any of that guys posts

I'll care what motorcyclists think when every single one of them rides to the letter of the law, including speed limits, noise emissions, and number plate size regulations. Glass houses.

I assume you didn't read the thread? The motorcyclists are in agreement with cyclists...............

 

[Drago]

No, I don't click on strange links.

I have 2 sickles myself and think the average motorcyclist is even more of a prat on the road than the average cyclist.
