Now hold on, I'm well aware you claimed to be a cyclist too, but that sounds much the same as a racist saying "Some of my friends are black". <br /><br />On balance of probabilities, based purely on your comment above, I'm going to go with you being a Type 2 Cyclist Hater, who found the blog post too truthful to bear without trying to use your assertive personality to assertively assert yourself.WillCyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867074906833723545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031352915519488668.post-13156885980017983122013-09-03T17:14:48.919+01:002013-09-03T17:14:48.919+01:00It's generally safer to assume a driver is a t...It's generally safer to assume a driver is a twat who is out to kill me than that they are kind and benevolent. <br /><br />Not all cyclists are twats and not all drivers are twats. As this blog is only directed at cycle haters then it simply does not apply to those who don't try to lecture cyclists on things like road tax etc.<br /><br />It's a shame that some cyclists scratched your car. It takes some effort to do that considering how one's body and clothing interacts with the space around the bike. But you know pedestrians squeeze past cars and so do mums with prams and then you have other drivers in car parks so there are lots of people to hate for damaging cars.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031352915519488668.post-71465590583835591312013-09-03T17:14:44.415+01:002013-09-03T17:14:44.415+01:00By analyzing those who spout irrational hate at us...By analyzing those who spout irrational hate at us for being on bikes, I'm somehow conforming to the stereotype you believe in? Wow. You're angry aren't you? Beamer yourself perhaps?<br /><br />Here's a handy hint for you, anonymous coward. Owning a bike doesn't make you a cyclist.

I've never intentionally done anything to put a cyclists life in dangerous. However, I have been called a c*nt and had my car scratched by impatient cyclists scratching their handlebars along the side as they try and squeeze through traffic. Damn those selfish, impatient car owners, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
