Somebody started a petition AGAINST cycling on Surrey roads.

If anybody on STW disagrees with that view, you may like to read and sign the counter petition here: Surrey County Council Petition

Also, please feel free to share it and show the support for cycling in Surrey and the South East, in the face of people who would prefer to ban future mass participation events like the Prudential ride 100.

Why do the idiots only need 1000 and you need 5000?

Signed, whole thing somewhat amusing, but also unsurprising.

“They don’t pay road tax”

A HAHAHAHAHAHA.

The against petition has to be a troll surely, nobody could seriously write such a poor document.

Tho the A-board outside the newsagents for the Dorking Advertiser this week does say “Anger against cyclist road closures”. On the other hand previous headlines have included retiring shopkeepers, how the local football team is aiming for the middle of the league, and how the police were successfully recovering missing micro-piglets. I kid you not.

So ignore it, it’ll blow over.

(ps Don’t Go Home Without One!)

Haha –
I wonder from who’s anus they recovered the micro piglets from? Paul Daniels? Simon Cowell?

I’d like to know where the borderline is between a mini-piglet and a micro-piglet, and do the coppers learn it at police college?

If the coppers were hunting micro-piglets, when actually it was mini-piglets that were missing, would they be on a wild goose chase?

No, clearly a piglet pursuit!

Surely, when the police are pursuing piglets, there is a conflict of interest?

Do you think someone squealed?

Reading the comments on the anti cycling petition page is really quite depressing. Anyway, signed and now keeping an eye out for retired micro piglets running amok in a mid table position. 😆

I’ve signed it. change.org doesn’t have the membership / profile of 38degrees so I doubt much notice will be paid to either petition.

Signed.

I’m thinking of starting a petition against all those drivers who block up the roads in London and suburbs every Monday – Friday.

They get in my way! I pay tax! 😉

The anti-cycling (well, anti-RideLondon) one could have been quite damaging but it’s so badly written and argued that it’s basically turned into a mini-rant.

It’s from a guy who runs a clay-pigeon shooting business (oh the irony of him complaining about “noise”!) and won’t amount to anything. Surrey County Council are contracted (if that’s the right word) to be a partner in this event for the next 4 years with an option on a further 2 years. It was always designed that way as part of the Olympic Legacy programme.

By then it’ll be well established, just like the London Marathon is now and people will stop moaning.

Wobbly bottom lips and toys out of pram!
