Red light jumping - a confession

[blazed]

Bollocks. You're gratuitously slagging off independent bike shops, shamelessly promoting a massive car-parts-and-accessories retailer, and not even noticing that you're on a cycling forum. You are right about David Cameron, but that's hardly a challenge.

You have a quote of someone you like in your signature, so do i. What is the problem in that. I dont like LBS from experience, how many people here slag of halfords, many of which have never even bought a bike from there. Yes i forgot for one second and read the OP's post as if he had been driving but deleted my post, if i was trolling i wouldnt have deleted it.

A petrol-intoxicated troll? Inspiring.

I think he's a delivery driver for Halfords

If you must know im a webmaster, i run adult websites. Or at least i did until i sold them out and currently have been taking it easy for probably the last 6 months.

Have whatever you like in your signature, but expect people to draw conclusions from it. Like Crackle, I couldn't quite believe yours was for real, so I assumed it was ironic until I read your recent thread. If you didn't like a particular independent bike shop, it's no reflection on the others - why slag them off unless you have an unworthy agenda? Perhaps, as Mickle insinuates, you were just a difficult customer...

Brilliant! A pornographer as well. This just gets better.

Again that is a fact which i can prove, so far i havent told one lie or trolled once on this forum. I am just a new member being given a hard time which says a lot more about everyone else.

for me trolls are those that hijack threads and make them about themselves, hence not feeding the trolls

as for reds, I used to jump anything that wasn't dangerous when younger, that's most of them in London, I din;t anymore because I realised that it's the main reason that self-gratification artist drivers use to justify treating cyclists like second class road users, it might even actually cause them to treat them as second class road users

What sites did you run?

Not disbelieving - just unimpressed. There must be plenty of car/porn sites that would be more sympathetic...

I cycle because of constant shin problems stopped me running, cycling is actually pretty enjoyable i wish i got into it sooner. I am a true piranha on the road and hit higher speeds than most cars which is probably why i dont run into any problems because i dont get in everybodys way.

I'm glad you're cycling, but why do you keep comparing yourself to a piranha - surely a tadpole is closer to the mark?

Suddenly, everything becomes clear...

You were given a hard time on the cyclist/HGV video thread as you repeatedly talked nonsense.

I wouldnt be surprised if they want me back at school to give speeches of encouragement to the kids. Show them what you can become if you put you rmind to it that sort of thing.

I'm willing to bet they wouldn't actually.

You're getting a hard time because you post in an inflammatory way. You also seem unaware of the tone of this forum and don't seem to have made the effort to tune in. Lots of people have noted this, this combined with a level of ignorance on cycling matters and a general wish to argue with people who are trying to give the benefit of their experience and knowledge has definetly marked you out.

If you do cycle and I believe you do, you might want to listen to the advice given. You also might want to leave some of the coarser side of your nature behind and try posting in a constructive way.

If you think about it, an empty pedestrian crossing probably signifies an RLJing pedestrian who has walked across during a gap in the traffic.

Which is, of course, not illegal. Whereas crossing a red on a bike is.

Yes maybe i have gotten off on the wrong foot here. Although i still believe somewhat this forum should change for me rather than me change to suit it. But maybe i will try your way.
