Well, someone certainly is.

Really? Is there really any need to be so bloody minded!!
@Big Andy the ignore function on this forum can be very useful.

Meaning matters. Ignore that at your peril.

It seems some people here have problems expressing themselves clearly and don't understand how analogies work.

Analogies... everybody has one... it's like something else.

Its not a problem. I give that sort of post all the consideration it deserves, which is none, they only reflect on the person making them.

I think he means an a... hole and boy there are plenty on here!

 

[Accy cyclist]

Why didn't you say that then?

So you accept my argument?

 

[steve50]

Nope. As I've explained it doesn't make sense.

If you don't understand, ask a grown up to help you with the big words.

Nasty, just plain nasty...................keyboard warrior springs to mind!!!

We should run a sweep; by which post # will this thread get locked?

I'm going 245...started OK but it's circling the plughole now

 

[steve50]

Before it does get locked I personally believe this forum is an excellent resource for both new and veteran cyclists alike but the likes of reg and his little clique spoils it for myself and I imagine a lot of others. There is absolutely no need for nastiness and the smart arse answers they come up with, trying to make themselves look clever at the expense of others just goes to show how small minded they are.
I have made good use of the ignore button this last couple of days.

Ironically thats perhaps the most childish comment in the whole thread. Perhaps you should demonstrate that you are in fact a grown up and apologise?
There is simply no need to be rude.

@User is being childish and rude, but he's right though.

If it's such a problem, why are unlit cyclists less than 2% of all cyclist KSI figures?

I'd submit that this debate is a colossal waste of time if the outcome we want is better road safety. You can dress head to toe in luminous clothing, and your risk of being hit is not substantially different to someone all in black.

We know what the single most common cause of KSI on the roads is: drivers not looking properly and/or driving too fast for the conditions. So if we want people to be safer, that's where we need to concentrate our efforts. Anything else is going to achieve FA reduction in KSI.

The problem is any cedibility in his posts is lost amongst the rudeness
