Does it matter who cycles or not? I work from home overlooking CS3

the number of cyclists drops during bad weather.

You appear to be so blinkered about cycling to the point of implying
I am lying about what I see - is that really your intention?

You are so blinkered about cycling that you say it isn't a viable means
of transport when it's raining, despite telling us there are still lots
of cyclists when it rains, even if not as many as when it's dry. THAT'S
what I call irrational anti-cyclist prejudice.

Well that will teach me to argue with the someone who I correctly
called out as blinkered - I never made a statement of that type, all
I did was state an observation that the number of cyclists on a
particular route (which, according to statistics, is the busiest in
the UK) drops dramatically during inclement weather.

For the record I am neither anti-cyclist (please cite where I said I
was, or even that I'm not a cyclist?) or irrational - the only
irrational person here appears to be someone else.

You were one of several here determined to ignore a cycle commuting option -
in Oxford!
