Village bans cyclists

[Tin Pot]

They hate everything that isn't exactly like them. In DM world there's no room for the other. Roads are for cars, taxes are for socialists and England is for the English. There's no point trying to negotiate, enter into dialogue or reach a compromise. They hate you for what you are, not what you do.

...heads are for wearing helmets on, voting is to establish the Green Party, the only acceptable colour is Hi Viz yellow/green. Yeah the DM is the only readership with no place for the other

Now ^ That is actual strawman argument.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Village issues gentle warning to some cyclists to be a little more considerate

Tantamount to a declaration of war, I'd say.

Yebbut there are quite a lot of porky cyclists who really shouldn't be wearing lycra! Not every cyclist has the trained physique of a professional!

Oi! I resemble that remark

 

[Kominic]

Not read the replies but this is the DM we're talking about. Did you expect a intellect free knuckledragger rag like them to attract a pro cyclist crowd??

 

[PaulSecteur]

They banned groups of bikes, but they are letting this guy stay as he is the only one. Once he finds a friend he is out!

I want to learn 'the art' of, travelling silently, while making a noise AND pissing at 40 mph!!!!! Bloody hell, that is impressive

I had to laugh at your comment, here, learn from the master

How do you hurl abuse without making a sound?

Perhaps the cyclists are experts at sign language and riding no handed, whilst flinging lucozade bottles all over the place, before stopping for a p*ss on a suitable monument.

I've got it, they should piss in the Lucozade bottles.

Just a thought, the 40 mph bit has been debunked as tosh,who on earth takes lucozade on a bike ride ! it's horrible stuff

At the Great Budworth Parish Council meeting in June (Highways Department Cheshire West and Chester and Police Liaison, Cheshire Police) four issues were discussed - they included speeding drivers, HGVs hitting properties, poor parking causing an obstruction, and finally, the cycling issue the Daily Wail misrepresents.

From the minutes:

4. The volume of cyclists travelling through the village in a dangerous manner and any action that could be taken.

Advice Given: Support writing to cycling clubs and national bodies to highlight issues. Cyclists are mainly on unofficial ‘rides’ and therefore difficult to regulate. Difficult to take action as not considered to be a significant problem (my bolds).

If I was a resident of Great Budworth, I'd be far more concerned with speeding drivers, HGVs squeezing through the narrow streets and poor parking causing an obstruction, rather than the threat to safety posed by cyclists riding through the village. I suspect the majority of Great Budworth residents would agree.

And the bottles are too small for bottle cages. The cyclists must have carried them in their hands or something. No other explanation.

Roundabouts are favourite gathering places too. It's easier to lob the bottles out of the driver's side window onto a roundabout than throw it across the cab and out of the passenger side window! Allegedly .

Title is still misleading.
