Bikers in bus lanes is a recipe for disaster says Cyclist columinst of the Independent

what a pile of cr@p!!

Thankfully there are a lot of replies that disagree with him!
but we should add more! :wink:

loving the replies - some are really funny, others are extremely clever and intelligent - from both sides :wink:

It would appear that everyone, cyclist or motorcyclist, thinks this man is an idiot.

More than that, though, this is just atrocious journalism - he should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.

Read this in the paper on Saturday. His inbox would’ve made interesting reading on Monday morning.

In the words of James May ā€œ****ā€

got my ā€˜tuppence’ in!

Sounds to me that this bloke’s a prat. Bet he’s just bitter as Boris has sided with us (atleast in the short term)…

Here’s another article by this jounalist, nuff said! http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/james-daley-another-cyclist-raced-up-alongside-me-and-started-hurling-abuse-1036575.html

Trying to add a reply but it wont let me, I guess it’s going into meltdown.

i dont bother riding in them often dont find it gets me anywhere any quicker , and get too many ideots pulling out on me

Nice to see the Independent pucblishing balanced non-sensationalist articles :w00t:

Love this comment left for him:

*I have a couple of suggestions for you:

  1. Learn the Highway Code, and start to observe it before an eighteen wheeler wipes you out as you run a red light

  2. Find another job wholly unconnected with journalism*

Fanfuggingtastic! :smiley:

Some good replies on there. The sad thing is some journalists seem to be immune to common sense. No doubt he’ll completely ignore all the feedback and carry on in his own little world. I blame the editor for employing him. Independent my arse :slight_smile:

Wouldn’t be a great loss. I suppose it wouldn’t be great for the 18 wheeler driver, but he could take solace in that he is doing good for the rest of mankind :cool:

ohh Im so naughty, just told him what I thought of him… :hehe:

surely the word INDEPENDENT has no meaning these days?

lets email the sucker!!!:smiley:

He really is a prize pillock. Read some of the comments.

Your not wrong there!

He loves to mow down a pedestrian, he is just sacred of bikers I think!

Bit of a problem here folks.

By adding to his post bag your just making him more bankable as a ā€œjournalistā€. Same thing goes for adding to the editors post bag.

Don’t have an answer to this except tell the paper owner that your not buying his rag anymore because… In truth, I can’t think why anyone should to start with.

Anyone want to comment on the juxtaposition of ā€œfactā€ and ā€œsuggestā€ in the title?

Just add him to the hit list headed by Jon Snow.
