Don't annoy the Lycra Clad Fascists.

I'm a lycra clad pacifist I'll have you know.

Anyone who says otherwise will get a fking slap!

Hmm!

I am not sure that you even live anywhere near the Pacific Ocean!!

No, but standing on a main road, next to your bike, head facing the wrong way whilst taking a selfie, does indeed make you a tt.

You really are fking thick.
With your limited powers of observation, its no wonder you're always having issues on the roads.

I wouldn't dream of calling anyone thick for a small observational mistake but twoblacklines has form so difficult to argue with you.

Sadly, you're also right about his self-confessed road "mishaps". A bit scary actually.

I don't want to generalise but we're getting a clearer picture of the minority of anti-cycling posters here... A lot of frustration, anger, intolerance, prejudice, self-righteousness, low IQ and/or education level. Basically similar traits found in the minority of inconsiderate cyclists.

In conclusion, it'd appear true that tts can be found irrespective of mode(s) of transport. What a surprise !

We are also free to express opinions, quite often based on our own experiences.... so if I am to say that I think the lycra clad cyclists who I encounter daily on the outer circle in Regents park are in majority inconsiderate, impatient morons then who is anyone to argue.... unless they live where I do and can share opposing views.

And its not anti cycling, I am a cyclist myself, I am anti inconsiderate, impatient morons and there are boat loads of them in London. Regardless of minority, minority in the thousands......... oh but car drivers are bad too init.......

You don't know if your own post is a question or a statement? You're insulting people's interpretation of what you've posted when you don't even know what you mean yourself! Are you an idiot? (That's a question by the way).


What do I think? I think you're going round making deliberately antagonistic statements that don't bear up to much, if any, scrutiny; and then trying to deflect, swerve, bluster and insult your way out when challenged.

I was taking the piss out of you! Hope that helps!

Ah, the old "I was joking / taking the piss" approach to defending an indefensible position. Well done, keep digging...

How about this lot?

At least pick a picture of when you're not sporting a boner.

Nice peachy arse, though.

So you end up in daily arguments - I wonder who is the inconsiderate and impatient moron here?

As an aside, can a cyclist only ever be 'clad' in lycra rather than wearing lycra or even bedecked in lycra or adorned with lycra?

[Rawwr]

Festooned in lycra?

You're the one that can't understand a question mark, not me. Nothing indefensible, it's just if you're not capable of reaching my intellectual level there is no point trying to engage you as an equal. This has been evident in every one of our exchanges hence why I just treat you as I find you... a biased not very bright individual!

You make no sense.... if you want to disagree please go ahead but give your reasoning..... oh you don't have any because you don't share my experiences and therefor have no argument.... surprising.

He did understand the question mark. His response was quite clearly in the negative.

You "asked" him if he admitted he was racing on the public road (even though the wording does imply you are making an assertion, not posing a question).

His response is "Where have I said anything of the sort?". Which implies that no, he didn't admit he was racing on a public road.

Surely someone of your intellectual level would be able to work that out, rather than going off on a rant about question marks and grammar?

You're as 'bright' as a black hole. Seriously, have you considered anger management therapy, you seem irrationally angry.

^^ I enjoy a bit of banter like the next guy, but this fella does more to promote ill feeling than any other poster.

People probably wonder why people aren't more sympathetic of cyclist views, especially when they get hurt. Well with a spokesperson like him, it should be obvious.

The point being you say you get into daily arguments - perhaps that might because it's you that's the ignorant and impatient one and not them? I wasn't disagreeing or arguing with you btw, although you seem to be trying to turn it into one.

The answer required yes or no, not another of its implications! If you look through its posting history it never answers any question with a straight answer.

You're equating intellectual snobbery with anger, not sure why... could hazard a guess though

What makes you assume I get into daily arguments, I didn't mention that in my comment dude. The fact that I come across them does not mean I get into arguments with them......
