What a lot of inaccurate drivel written by a fool.

The inaccuracies in this article are mind blowing. In comparison it
ranks amongst the best of politician's spin on statistics I've heard in
years.

"motorbikes emit 11.3 times more methane than cars "

The bikes or the riders? On that basis they should also ban cows from the
bus lanes.

Furthermore, I would have thought that the most dangerous thing a cyclist
would encounter in a bus lane would be a......er.....bus.

 

Can't help but agree...

"Furthermore, a recent study showed that when motorbikes are allowed
to travel in bus lanes, their average speed increases": No fucking
shit Sherlock: that's surely the whole point!

 

Appallingly shoddy.

I've added my two penn'orth to the comments.

 

I'd already guessed that alias was you.

 

Heh, I thought that was you.

Well done, Wilson. I wondered which one of you was going to spot that.

 

Odd, it just worked for my post to the Indy.

 

Actually I thought it was because you were pretending to be a journo.

using one of your domestic residents as a nom de plume?

 

Absolutely. It's a view I've seen expressed in URC more than once.
Some there seem to feel that removal of the source of fear, rather
than education, is the answer.

 

Oh yes. Blame the cat: it always works.

I'm sure it will mete out suitable retribution.

Feline break dancing classes on the scooby, maybe...

 

He tried to take over my Triumph, when he was younger, with his (now
deceased) brother.

I absolutely agree with him. I'd utterly hate to be a cyclist in a bus
lane full of cunts on bikes.

 

Stop using Boots' username.

 

TBF, around here, at least, there is some justification for that fear.
Taking a cycle ride down the Corvedale road on a summers day can feel
a bit like taking your life in your hands. Powerangers routinely
scream down the straight, missing you by inches, before throwing
out all the anchors and wobbling round the next bend. It can get
a bit worrying at times. There are a lot of complete knobbers out
there on motorbikes, unfortunately.

Whenever I encounter a cyclist I always calm it down and at the very
least ensure I give them a very wide berth.

 

You living in Shropshire? I used to live there.
