Can I suggest some of the 'blinkered' cyclists look back to the first page of this thread? The OP, self admittedly is a cyclist and the article referenced in the first post is clearly from an amateur cyclist's or activists perspective.

The following 70 pages have played right into their hands and they call anyone with an opinion that challenges their view, Or suggestions to make cycling safer, a troll

. By definition a troll seeks out emotive responses as the first post appears to have succeeded in doing, whether by chance or not, I'm not sure.

I'd say the OP has admitted the need to educate those cyclists that pose a hazard on the roads, even admitting he'd benefit.

Disco man, do you still have the same view exemplified in your first post?
Have you had any group riding learning experiences since post #4?

Cheers.

Can I suggest that anyonewho thinks it is OK to physically hurt someone because they don't like the activity they engage in take a good long look at themselves.

I think you need to put a few qualifications on that statement.
What if the activity they engage in is "murdering your family"? In that case I would wholly support your decision to physically hurt the person who is engaged in that activity, should you choose to decide that way.

people who dont follow the road rules deserve to be physically beaten.

That must be the first thing we've ever agreed. See this thread isn't a waste of time 😆

Perhaps beaten with a warm lettuce leaf?
