Are you a troll? that argument makes absolutely no sense at all

moff1888

He's one of the guys off the cycling forum, I think.

yoza

Well done lightening.

GC8WRX

He posts on the forum in question!

ComedyPilot

By no means am I a troll. Where is there any evidence of me trolling your forum? That would be rude and impertinent, of which I am neither.

My comment about horses for courses was in answer to Kingofturds point about him using a camera riding to the shops intead of downhill on a dried up river.

moff1888

Well I waited for someone else to put it on but no one seemed forthcoming.



**Edit** In fact I waited almost 8 mins.

I did review the page in question, and actually admire his taste in music (if his avatar indicates he is in fact a foo fighters fan) I just wondered if it was a troll trying to impersonate Mr ***** cyclist

GC8WRX

Its a fair point, why would you need a camera unless you were regularly abused cos you ride like a tit pulling out on people like the scooby driver said, and were sacred by the reactions of people.



Or is it cos the **** in question wants to provoke reactions, so he can feel important by pathetically posting it all on youtube and running to the cops with number plates, that coupled with the fact he massivley exaggerates ( scooby dong 100 mph when it pulled away according tho the video, it was in first gear lol!) suggests he is a **** who has no life other than work and a cycling forum!


I actually fell a bit sorry for people whos lives are so empty they they feel the need to cycle round on a recumbant filming the bad people of this world, whilst feeling smug cos they are helping combat the "climate change" that they think really exists.


Anyone used to read modern parents in viz, i bet this recumbant clown has a son called tarquin or xavier and they are complete social **** ups who dont fit in anywhere cos of mummy and daddies obscuire values they force on their poor offspring!

What an arrogant **** CyclingMikey is!!!

He complains about the Bully in a Mercedes? pipping his horn at him, but is quite happy to use his ****-blaster to let other people know about his massive intellectual presence

He brags about the fact that he is traveling at over the "speed limit" of 30mph, which he says is "perfectly legal on a bicycle", but seems oblivious to actually riding at a speed appropriate for the conditions (and he definitely is "pedaling furiously"!).

And how many times do we have video evidence of him overtaking the leading vehicle on the approach to a pedestrian crossing????

I wonder if he will post pictures of the inside of his rectum on YouTube when somebody finally decides to explain to him that he is a tool of the first order??

I did feel sorry for the guy until the point he shouted "Youtube"

Comedy pilot, I assume you saw my user name and assumed I was intellectually retarded, so if I find out who you are and see you cycling away on your orange **** bike I will duly oblige

I think you have made your point, I also think that some of it is a bit speculative given the evidence, you are turning it into a bit of a class issue here, like the recumbent is some middle class eco warrior , I do this a bit as well, we build up an impression of a certain type of person and how they act and end up with a distorted extreme stereotype, plus discussing stuff on forums reinforces this and ultimately the stereotype in question becomes some kind of enemy and gets projected onto others when certain elements fit, causing a different reaction than if the situation was taken at face value, ok, recumbent riders may be a little eccentric but I suspect most of them, if you met them would be ok, like D4N may actually be a nice bloke if he appeared at a Scoob meet.

yoza

Well put.

I see him as a Police recruit failure, then traffic warden failure, then CSO failure.

And now Tax Inspector office clown.

KOT, it isnt your username that provokes those kinds of assumptions

By the way I am waiting for you to react so I can video it and put it on Youtube.

ComedyPilot

If he can't ride a bike without getting into fisticuffs, would you want him handling your tax returns?

I wouldn't.

This is Bent Mikey's business: LondonSkaters - inline skating reviews and FAQ, rollerblading articles, photos and news website That should sort out some of the stereotypes?! But I do wonder if he has a beard He may also be Dutch.

So i take it that the total evidence of Dans bad driving is what the cyclist claims as the Video doesnt actually show any thing of use before he sounds his horn and the shouting kicks off.

Shame Dan has to react that way but i suppose if he hadnt and had just asked why the cyclist felt he was to close then it wouldnt have made it to utube.

Cyclists do seem to be amongest the most self righteous group and frequently they will make compliants about motorists whilst ignoring all the rules that cyclists break as if that is ok as they are not under the sames restrictions on the road.

At the end of the day until cyclists as a group obey the basic rules like not jumping red lights (frequently in large groups) do contribute a form of road tax, have insurance and display a tracable licence plate they will always have the status of 2nd class citizens to most drivers who pay a significant amount each year to drive on the roads they more than pay for.

Ultimately the government may have given them the ride tax free but it doesnt make it acceptable to the majority road user group who the same government screw for over 40 Billion each year for this privilage.

I think the cyclists forget that most drivers started out as cyclists and just moved on so have seen this coin from both sides that isnt true about all cyclists and some of the most anti car types i have meet have infact never driven.

----He must have felt threatened to sound his horn, I dont expect he does it for ***** and ----giggles.

----Yes, would have been a non event had he just asked like you say, but he didnt, hence why it ended up on Youtube, personally I think he shouldnt be driving a car if he is that volatile.

----There is an element that hate car drivers, there can be any reasons for this, you do ----get quite defensive when car drivers are taking liberties with your safety to save a few ----seconds, I think this builds up over the years, along with the non drivers who dont ----understand, that works both ways, i.e. those who have never ridden a bike. I dont ----consider myself part of a group, I ride to work on my own and am not aware of ----breaking any rules, I cant speak for other cyclists though.

----Cyclists are not second class citizens, they are just normal citicezs that sometimes ----ride a bicycle, this is why drivers seem to be thinking they can treat them badly, a ten ----grand Subaru does not give anyone the right to put themselves further up the food ----chain. With regards to road tax (VED as it is known, Vehicle Excise Duty, note the ----vehicle bit, a bike isnt a vehicle in law), a lot of cyclists would pay a nominal fee just ----to get rid of this argument from drivers, how much to pay, well on emissions a bike is ----way below the lowest cars that dont pay a penny so that wouldnt work, small ----motorcycles pay £15 a year, plus given bikes cannot use the motorway network or ----realistically much more than a metre from the left hand kerb , I would reckon that the ----price should be pennies or zero, it would cost more to administer than collect and do ----we need another load of civil servants to keep track of it ?

Well, have been engaging them in some debate over there and apart from the self righteousness of a few of them they actually seem an OK bunch.

dellzeqq is a crack up though. he has to be on a wind up but if not then it is even funnier as I thought keyboard warriors were a dying breed.

Have a read of this and see what you make of it :

Okay. When I'm out and about, be it on my bike, or in my car, I - like you - see cyclists jumping lights, cycling on the pavement, weaving in and out of traffic, and so on.

But I also see motorists jumping lights, talking on their phone, disobeying ASLs, speeding, parking on the pavement, pulling out of junctions without looking, and so on.

I don't see 'motorists' as a whole as 2nd class citizens any more than I see 'cyclists' as 2nd class citizens, simply because of the moronic behaviour of a minority of both of these communities. Why should I, or BM, or any other law-abiding motorist and cyclist, be tarred as a 'second class citizen' when we're out on our bikes because of the behaviour of other people? Can't we distinguish between individuals?

As for the 'road tax' argument - well, I do pay road tax. Or rather VED. That's because I have a car, like most people who ride bikes. The people you see out on bikes are not riding them because they're too poor to afford a car, or because they're 'anti-car' - it's usually because it's a convenient and healthy way to get to work, or to the shops, or they're simply out for pleasure. I don't know any mountain bikers, for instance, who go out riding before first hopping in their car to get to their destination.

And furthermore, there are a fair number of cars already on the road that don't pay road tax (or VED) - they're duty exempt because of low emissions. It would be a little perverse to insist on cyclists paying VED when many cars don't.

Finally, the upkeep of roads is paid for out of general taxation, NOT from VED. So there's quite a good argument for saying that non-driving, council-tax paying cyclists are actually subsidising motorists' use of the road - particularly as they're not allowed on motorways, which are - guess what - paid for out of general taxation!

Anyway, rant over.

I'd like to say cheers to f1_fan for being so civil on cyclechat - and for putting up with dellzeqq.

The only comment that I am going to make is that in one of his other videos he quite clearly says (in a caption box thingy)

"I'm exceeding the 30mph speed limit which is quite legal on a pushbike"

Is it? I really really don't think so

It's a Road Speed Limit and applies if you are cycling, horse-riding or even running and is not just for motorised vehicles...
