More anti cycling rubbish

[Alun]

Anyone else seen this nonsense from M.E.N's Andrew Grimes, a so called journalist.

Was just about to post this myself, what a load of tosh

 

[Beebo]

What a load ofTosh, he is a true Cockwomble - the comments at the bottom of the article needs no further additions.

 

[ushills]

What a tosser!!!

 

[Night Train]

That really was quite stupid, Mr Grimes.

It's an opinion piece. The sort of stuff written to generate a response. It can safely be dismissed as such.

However, if you do feel inclined to pick up on something then how about this....

How healthy can you rank a mode of transport with such a high mortality rate?

If it's mortality rates we're judging modes of transport by...

I read it and now I feel all grimy.

 

[yello]

or how about

cyclists enjoy the freedom of the highway without being urged to buy a driving licence or pay road tax.

Set aside the 'road tax' argument... "urged to buy a driving licence"??

Admittedly, some folk do drive as though they haven't actually passed a test but I didn't realise that that might actually be true and they've bought a licence instead!

So he's saying bigotry against cyclists is ok, yet against homosexuals it isn't?

Turing deserves better admirers than this idiot.

As for a driving license, it's like an MOT. It only shows you were proven fit to be on the roads for the one hour of the test.

What a f******g COCK! This type of drivvle really pisses me off.

 

[numbnuts]

Dick Head comes to mind

 

[yello]

chicken herder perhaps?

 

[colly]

Sloppily written junk designed to get a response.
Maybe his boss/editor has been telling him he's on notice.

 

[GrasB]

You bothered to read past the second sentence? "Each of these alternatives offers the likeliest chance of completing a journey through a British city without winding up at the undertakers."

 

[MontyVeda]

not only does he need to double check his 'facts', his grammar is pretty poor in places too... and he gets paid as a writer?!?!?
