John Snow - Round 2

Look, he’s even been on a proper bike, too!

Jon Snow just after dismounting his bicycle after arriving at work:

Jon Snow finally figures out how to read traffic lights:

“We hates filthy bikers!”

(Sorry, I’ll stop now…)

You’re making my anger levels rise!!! lol

now this is sounding good, lol

wot if we all get together on his route and block him in, like when the cops stop a car with 4 other cars around him, not to stopp him etc just so he cant get out the circle of bikes around him stopping at every junction, lights etc.

it would be funny watching trying to get up speed too, lol.

I’m sure I could provide a camera from a mate of mine… I’d be well up for this, would be funny as… Whats his route where does he cycle from and to?

I’d not have been able to show the same restraint you did… thats for sure…

Its like the email scams from those nigerians… haha, I love a bit of john snow baiting…!

Totally understand the outrage fellas - but he also anchors Channel 4’s primetime news/current affairs flagship and has a direct hotline to most of the ‘great and the good’ in this country. It doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t be made to account for his shite cycling style - but he would make the inner city biking fraternity an especially dangerous enemy - just a thought. :slight_smile:

LB posts in the past have ended up in the printed media.

i’d LOVE to see these posts in the Sun

lol

he sure does sound like a walking,talking,cycling after-birth

You could just email this thread to [email protected] then they can make of it what they will. At the very least it might embarass him into being more careful out there. :cool:

It’s funny you said that, as it had crossed my mind, when I said that I wouldn’t win, should something happen.

Just bad PR for bikers. I can see the headline now…

“Innocent cyclist set upon by crazed biker” He would probably write it himself!

or

“Cyclist kidnapped, beaten and made to eat own faeces in week long ordeal. Biker is to blame” Hee hee, just kidding.

…be afraid be VERY afraid

lol

It’s true Chenster mate - there are all kinds of people who want to cut our borrocks off (e.g. lower BHP, leg guards, front number plates etc) in powerful positions in the EU and govt - we’ve got more chance of carrying on in the fashion we’re accustomed to if we don’t attract attention to ourselves - that includes the accident stats - we account for about 2/3% of traffic and 25% of fatalities. The road safety lobby is strong and well organised and can’t see the point of powerful bikes and cars that can go over 70 m.p.h - they would love to have media/communication specialists like Jon snow on board. :wink: :slight_smile:

I would certianly think about emailling his bosses…Just take a photo of him or do it on your mobile phone and send it to the papers…

I know that if I were riding the bike with my “company fleece” on so you all know who i worked for and you then called my employer to say that i was riding inappropriately or dangerously or without proper attire or disregarding road rules, I would be given an internal disciplinary…that said, I’d also get one if i were walking up the stairs without holding the rail or walking around the office with a cup of cofffe and no lid on it!

run him down, you are on the top of C4(or ITN?) news:D

i saw him on bicycle quite a few times

ok well i guess we’d better cower in the corner then and hope that we dont pi55 anybody off or that somebody notices us

:wink:

No chance of that! ;):D:P

We probably have no bigger enemy at the mo than the cyclist lot anyway.

I am sure the other channels would jump on it too.

b4 any1 mails ch4 get some evidence first or they will just tell him to be a good boy and we will look like muppets and the bad guys.

How real do you reckon the threat from do-gooding lawmakers is? There are press reports of EU initiatives etc. of course but could they come to something? I would have said no, considering the bike industry lobby, let alone how many of us ride them. But then again i could never have imagined the smoking ban in the days when smoking on top of the bus was allowed.
