Giving cyclists a bad name

[Freds Dad]

A cyclist in Cheshire attempted to sue the council and failed after his evidence being "unreliable, implausible and inconsistent"

What a weenis. We can only hope that the councils costs are substantial when he receives the bill.

Cant see how this toss pot is giving cyclists a bad name.

He's a toss pot and nothing more

Yes, the guy is a complete ham shanker who deserves all that is coming his way, but I don't see how he is giving me or any other cyclists a bad name?
If a car driver dreams up a fraudulent claim similar to this, does that give drivers a bad name? No, I didn't think so.

He doesn't speak nor act for me.. His actions are his own

...in fact, he had fallen off when mounting a kerb.

LOL

How?? What’s it got to do with me?? Stupid title. Must admit though, it would be great if they really shafted him with costs :-)

The court have already ruled that he has to pay the Carncils costs. I'm just hoping they spent a lot of money on lawyers.

He's giving cyclists a bad name for one simple reason. Society in general likes to categorise people, and then judge them. Some have an inherent and irrational dislike of cyclists, and stories like this feed their ignorance.

The world's full of fraudsters, shysters and opportunists. It doesn't matter what mode of transport they use.

It’s a bit like the mega facist vegans who go around terrorising butchers.
Suddenly every vegan is a knob and worthy of ridicule.

All car drivers are bank robbers the knobbers.

I like the way that people he worked with testified against him. Sounds like a complete tool.
