Neil Williams ) gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying :

To be fair rail-using cyclists are often messed around on Sundays by
engineering work and bus substitution


"rail-using cyclists"? *EVERYBODY* is ****ed around on Sundays by
engineering work etc... This isn't aimed personally at cyclists, y'know.

Oh, indeed, but cyclists more so because replacement buses (generally)
don't carry bicycles, while they do carry other passengers and their
luggage, admittedly usually with a great deal of inconvenience
compared with the usual journey.

Sounds bleeding stupid to me. The trains are virtually empty at weekends,
so who's going to care?

bloody marvellous.

Huge finally succumbing to the realisation that sense and cycle-hating
are mutually exclusive.

And it's a sunny day.

Two lightning strikes ;)

Which, as I've posted elsewhere, is a massive over-reaction, and will
nicely stuff up the journeys of anyone who relies on train+bike



Given that bikes are carried free, the railway companies can do
as they please.



They've realised that they can't charge for the 'service' they now deign
to provide, given that they've lumped cyclists into the group marked
non-frequent users who are generally stuffed.

That's about how many SWT can fit into the average train.


Alternatively, the bike space will be filled with one giant
pushchair....

I'm a 40% tax payer, a paid-up motorist, and a cyclist. I pay for the
roads just as much anyone.

You really are as thick as **** aren't you?

******.

Err, no. Unlike cyclists in general, and you in particular, I have the
power of rational thought.


Funny that your postings in regards to cyclists are irrational.

No you don't. You're a cyclist, and therefore a freeloader, a parasite,
a hypocrite. You're a foulmouthed moron, too.


Huge, please consider donating your brain to medical science when you die.
I have really never come across one quite so extraordinary in my life!

Rubbish, I've yet to come across a cyclist who cares about pedestrians
or the rules of the road. I've never seen a more selfish lot.

You can get return fares on busses, trains, coaches, planes etc., why
should anyone make it more convenient to the discomfort of their other
passengers, if you want to bike it, then do the same journey on return
and bike back, you think it's so great you're welcome to it.
