Absolute top ranting :+)

[burriana]

This guy may be not the most eloquent, nor the biggest fan of punctuation (apart from the asterisk), but his view point on drivers, any drivers at all, is worthy of a top rant award

View from a jaded cyclist here

[IroningMan]

Should be in General Gassing...we haven#t had a proper cycling thread for several days now.

[roadman]

I think his wife cheated on him that day and the bloke who she cheated with cut him up in his car...therefore creating the ultimate hate

[Disastrous]

What a colossal prick.

People like him make me hate cycling and feel ashamed of enjoying it. Why on earth can't people just show a bit of mutual respect?

Also, I am certain he wears a helmet cam. Or wants one for Christmas.

[burriana]

To be honest, he comes across as an angry, aggressive, illiterate thug... but who knows what has happened. He may just be having a REALLY bad day!

Agreed, and I'm sure we've all been that angry about things but once you commit that to a blog, *that's* how you will be perceived.

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

Reasonable points, made very badly.

Ranty as it may be, that post is actually the answer to pretty much every anti-cycling thread you will ever read on Pistonheads.

Eloquent, no. Accurate, yes.

[McFsC]

A couple of nice pictures of Teesside on there.

Excellent rant, although too light on the swears in my opinion. Someone needs to cut'n paste that in reply to the next "Cyclists ? Arentchasickofem" thread in GG.

[MadDad]

9/10 rant, broader use of swear words could have bagged him a 10/10.

[paranoid airbag]

I like the picture of the trees.

I would bet a large amount of money, that if you went for a 2 hour cycle in London your opinion of him would change...

Two nights ago after having 2 incidents within 15mins, I swore that I would buy a helmet cam... I've calmed down now, and not sure I will...but understand 100% why cyclists wear them.

^ This.

Also I suspect he wet the bed until well into his teens and that he is a sexual underachiever.

Really don't get the "them" and "us" thing with cyclists and motorists. There are plenty of bad drivers but plenty of cyclists who are illiterate when it comes to using the road.

The only way this will ever end is by improving cycle lanes up to continental standards, and crucifying bad cyclists and drivers alike at the edge the road, Spartacus-style.

[Garlick]

Every car driver he deliberately holds up will hate me (the sensible cycling commuter) more. I dislike that.

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

He dislikes them they dislike us we are them they are us he's wrong she's wrong fk you no fk you ill show you no ill kill you blah blah blah.
Pedal
Drive
Enjoy.

[VinceFox]

He comes across as a bit of a bellend tbh.

This. What a bigoted he really is, and what fking stupid points he makes. Advocating cycling in headphones? Jesus wept

I've ripped out my car stereo and smashed the windows so I can be fully aware of my surroundings at all times.

Also, my uncle is deaf, so I slashed the tyres on his car to make sure he doesn't run anyone over.
