Sheldon Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The whataboutery in some of the Twitter comments is unbelievable. "Would they have asked someone to put their horse in the van?" Well, no, because a horse rider would not be up there in the first place, acting like a stupid entitled dick. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Mainwaring Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Have you read his blog? I was a one time regular cyclist and that kind of shite is what gets cyclists a bad name. Today was not the day to be up there attempting to prove a very poor point. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick, swirling mist and a rear light with the candle power of a glow-worm's armpit. You couldn't see him until you were nearly on top of him. Yes that’s the guy I posted about previously. I said police car instead of van but it was a van. I recognise the gulley in the road. As soon as he was pulled over he got his phone/ camera out and started filming. Idiot.

AcousticallyChallenged Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Cycling in fog is stupid. Being technically in the right is all well and good when you're being plucked out of the grille of an SUV. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a good ride across the mountain, but only do it a couple of times a year when conditions are perfect. Heading up there in the fog especially, isn't only a massive danger to yourself but the other road users too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The UK’s chief lycra defender has chimed in. He’s not making cyclists look good with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear from a cyclist. I see that idiot Vine has changed the alleged statement from the police person from:- “ because a number of drivers have called us to complain about you “ to “ because a number of bad drivers have called us to complain about you” He does himself no favours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticallyChallenged Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 To be fair to the guy, there is one thing that he’s right on. Being stupid isn’t technically illegal. But, it’s still stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 He was endangering other road users cycling up there in fog. Up his own arse like too many of the lycra brigade, obsessed with their training regime and self-image as modern road warriors fighting for their space. F**king asshole. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
