Is it "growing" or just being provoked by the media?

Winding people up seems to be the raison detre of a lot of media these days.

Couldn't agree more. A hateful type of show containing the very worst of both sides.

I'd have thought the growing number of cyclists is the problem?

You can already tell it's going to be one sided and which side it's on by the title. Cyclists: Scourge of the streets? Sounds like they've made their mind up already.

Why would that be a problem?

Trash TV for the hard of thinking. And no surprise that only C5 decides to air such utter rubbish.

Is C5 the TV version of The Mail?

Who on God's earth would this kind of tripe appeal to?

Is C5 trying to hoover up all the lost Jeremy Kyle fans?

Just going to be a collection of the seen hundreds of times you tube clips.

The cyclist isn't going to go away & neither is the motorist, we just have to learn to share the roads better & get along

You'll find that the growing number of cyclists is the solution , not the problem.

Think this is the first in a new series. Next week we have:
"The Irish: Alcoholic simpletons? " followed by
"Blacks: A bit stabby?"
As long as you include the question mark it's OK.

Both sides are as bad as each other. The bloody dash-cam / head-cams that people wear makes them ride / drive dangerously so as to actively put people in compromised situations

It could possibly be if it had not remained the same or even fallen slightly over the past 5 years. It has fallen massively in the last 50 years.

I often exchange a wave and a hello with other cyclists.

I notice motor cyclists do this too.

As for motorists in vehicles, they just seem to hate everyone. hehe

As for this show, I really don't know what to say. As mentioned above, the title gives away the side which is being taken.

It will be very silly if some hard of thinking watch it and then hate everyone riding a bike. Saying that, you only have to look at social media to see examples of this.
