Doubling Up On Road

[Bicycle]

If that statement in favour of shutting this thread were a car, it would be a 1978 Vauxhall VX1800 Estate.

In maroon metallic with a factory-fit vinyl roof. The tax disc would be sellotaped to the screen.

Nuke it...

Can I remind you that this thread has, uh, a substantial dollar value?

I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it looks like 3bm has exceeded his authority

I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.

Sad indictment of this forum if indeed advocating consideration to others is a minority view.
I rather think the reality is that i hold the mainstrean reasonable view whereas you and a few vocal others hold a militant extremist viewpoint which although may go down well on a cycling forum will not go down so well in the outside world and which might explain why you get intimidated by motorists.

Why do you insist on arguing against imaginary points of view? (actually, I know why, but I'd like you to try and explain it)
No-one has said we shouldn't show consideration to others - no-one!

If you want an argument, and you clearly do, please can you argue against positions that people actually hold, rather than ones that only exist in your fevered imagination.

And you wonder why people think you're a troll.

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

None of my cycling mates are able to go out with me tonight...I'll have to weave across the road instead.

But tomorrow I should be going out in a group - how many riders do you reckon we could manage side by side?

32 if you use both sides of the road!

You forgot the pavements, say 38?

Game over man, game over.

38?

I didn't take you for a militant. Clearly I was mistaken.

Anything over 2 is just wrong. Even 2 is wrong when I'm in a hurry and doing something Very Important.

If you're going to try 38 could you avoid using the A417 for the next couple of days. I'll be using it a lot to do something jolly important and I don't look forward to being inconvenienced by a ragedy bunch of militant cyclists with a vacuous point to prove.

Crunch times for me on the A417 are 0800 to 0930 and 1550 to 1900. Both days.

Thanks in advance

Cool it man - we won't be using the cycle lanes - so you and FC and all other responsible cyclists will not be inconvenienced

Hold on, you cant have a pyramid with 38 people. 1+2+3+4+5+6+etc... so 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55 etc...

Before you start embarrassing yourselves

No, look I've got the instruction manual to prove it.
