A phrase that always spring to mind

Whats more important, Being right or staying alive?

I'll take the later myself

Flesh & bones versus 2 tonnes of metal will always come off worse.

You could say that without some people being right the Second World War would never have been won... how far do we push the "staying alive" canard before we start to get proper change and consideration? Or indeed it could be pushed to another extreme "to stay alive dont ride" - a philosophy many already subscribe to

There's been other wars since WW2 y'know, why's it always WW2 this and WW2 that, sheesh

[QUOTE 2987661, member: 45"]Could you suggest that he tries it with possibly a smidgeon less anger?[/QUOTE]

I think his anger came from the crash he had. IIRC he was technically disabled for a long time.. though I may have misunderstood his circumstances.

Its an analogy. Dont be so soft.

You obviously haven't bothered to read the whole thread.

What's the vote on this guy then does he do good for cyclists or does he put drivers backs up even more than they already are .

I knew he had difficulty walking, but never knew why. Was it a cycling accident ?

Honestly though, his heart is in the right place, just a shame its done through a cringe.

If i see him on my travels i'll give him a hello!

Bad !

TBH I cant remember... I might even have it wrong that it was due to a crash. I remember him saying he's had the leg operated on.

Haha I wasn't lol

In slightly bad taste I was sarcastically complaining WW2 is the only war that usually gets mentioned, bad joke made worse by having to explain it

I also talk to Wolf quite a lot on twitter. He, too, has his heart in the right place and has campaigned down Essex way for better infra and better policing. He also regularly challenges the misconceptions of motorists in his local paper... also the guy that attempted to point out Essex Constabulary stopping legal riders and lecturing them about others misbehaviour doesnt do much for Police support from the public.

I don't see that he has his heart in the right place. I see someone who creates or exaggerates problems, and behaves aggressively. There are two clips I saw where he quite deliberately puts himself in danger in order to force contact with a car's wing mirror.

TBH I didnt know it was sarcasm but did wonder

I've not watched his whole range of videos. I can only go by the conversations I've had with him. He seems genuine.

Maybe he's one of those people who are normally sound, but turn into monsters behind the wheel (or in the saddle, in his case).
