I'm not claiming it *is* clever. It's just my daft little protest against
people using our roads who don't pay for them! ;-)

Ah, so you haven't heard that cyclists have above-average income, are
more likely to own a house, a car and any other measure of material
wealth except a satellite dish (and that's probably changed now the
Tour is on ITV2). In other words, cyclists probably pay more tax than
you do. And then leave the car at home - smart people!

I do drive my vehicle correctly. And I'm not tense, or stressed, or prone to
flagellatory flights of fancy. I just hate cyclists and the way they
(present company excepted) reckon they own the road - riding on the
pavement, jumping red lights, yelling abuse at elderly people and so on.

Ah, so you are going to break your word and drive incorrectly (i.e.
illegally) based on the behaviour of a small group of cyclists who,
incidentally, are every bit as unpopular with us cyclists as they are
with cagers.

What's your view on that bloke who slashed car tyres based on the
behaviour of a subset of cagers?

Do you not think that the best way to make the roads a better place is
to set a good example, rather than try and out-idiot the idiots?

I've learned, today, the difference between Real Cyclists and People On
Bikes. I knew nothing about that before. Thanks.

Its easy to tell them apart. Real Cyclists are invisible to motorists
who only see POBs ;-)

It's very similar to the difference between people who know how to drive,
and those who just have a driving licence and a car.

People on bikes are "real cyclists" just different to us "bike freaks"

Nonsense. The discerning cyclist gets ITV2 on Freeview.

There may be more of it on Eurosport, but last time I watched it there the
commentary was so boring and off the point that I swore never again.

Phil, Gary and Paul are far better.

By the way, you never could get Eurosport on Freeview, that was back in the
days of ITV Digital.

I know, which was why we got ITV Digital in the first place! And we
can't get satellite here, as it's a block of flats (although we hope
they will be putting up a communal dish soon, it can't be too soon for
me, as the skating season is just starting), there's no cable, and
reception on Freeview and its predecessors is ruddy awful. Sigh.
