Lovely little rant, brought to you courtesy of the Bristol Evening post.

Yup. I reckon he's a closet cyclist — in denial.

He's not getting a lot of support in the reader's comments.

Oh, how original. Another dull-witted attempt to stir up controversy. Be nice if it didn't read like it was written by a twelve year old (really, you don't need to use every adjective in your vocabulary). Be nicer still, if they could have managed to be vaguely amusing with what they wrote. Otherwise they risk being mistaken for the Special Brew-fuelled drunk slinging abuse at anyone who passes through his stumble radius.

I was going to say it sounded like ti was written by Clarkson, but that amounts to much the same thing as a twelve-year old.

In fact, no.  My twelve year old is intelligent and pretty articulate.

In the meantime - and from a pedestrian's point of view - let me remind you there's nothing attractive (especially after a full English breakfast) about seeing an elephantine derriere zooming past you at 8.30 on a Monday morning.


I wouldn't mind - but I've never been to Bristol.

Odd paragraph that - think it says a lot about the writer, linking eating a full english with a fat backside, sounds like he's got something to be  sensitive about!

Best comment seen elsewhere "Ok, own up, which of you [cyclists] has been seeing Mrs Caddick?".  :D

I was sorely tempted to reply on the following lines:

It seems like a really lazy way to drum up controversy. 

Some of those comments are classics, though ;D
