TalkSport Phone-In Tonight About "Menace Cyclists"

[Joffey]

I've just been on trying to stick up for us, ended up making a tit of myself!!

Lots of taxi drivers and truckers coming on slagging us off. If you are still up give them a call and try and do a better job than me (which will be easy lol)

 

[Jezston]

Lots of taxi drivers and truckers calling in on their mobile phones whilst driving?

To be fair though, I'm both a cyclist and a motorist and a fair chunk of cyclists I encounter on the road have no idea of road laws and etiquette and seem to be on a suicide mission, especially in London

Although many of those cyclists will have a licence as well so should know road laws.

By that argument, so should the car drivers...

I think the answer here is to avoid TalkSport. My football-loving son and I tune in occasionally when Six-0-Six is in danger of getting intellectual.

At their very best, it is hard to distinguish between TalkSport and a parody.

If radio were a medical dictionary, TalkSport would be an infected bedsore.

That's what I am saying, 70 to 80% of cyclists are also car drivers.

 

[Lyrical]

Cyclists are menaces though.

Anyway, TalkSport, bias? Huehue, I would never of thought!

 

[Primal Scream]

Talkcrap, the home of the cliche

Exactly. I give them a try now and then and there seems to be a lot of shouting: i can't handle more than 2 or 3 minutes.

 

[PedalCat]

It's available on listen again. It took the presenter less than 10mins to state that "none of them (cyclists) have got insurance".

Fight the good fight on all platforms. No-one is below engagement. Thats what being an ambassador for change is about.

‘Who are you gonna sue? GOD?’

.... But simply ride their bikes with the same disregard they show for the law when driving?


A neighbour of ours is a classic has a pathological hatred of pavement cyclists, yet sees nothing wrong with parking on the same pavements

I trust that you have pointed this out to him.
