reported under "credible threat of violence"

+1

"I got hit by a cyclist and broke two bones in my arm, 1 compound fracture and a clean break."

"Good thing you didn't get hit by a car."

"How did you get hit? On a footpath? The cyclist must have been riding fast."

"I was crossing a road, and he hit me really fast yes, And William, i might not have been hurt as bad if i got hit by a car, i might of gt away with just some bruising, but the cyclist hit me and landed on top of me and his handle bars crushed my arm."

Er... unless the cyclist jumped a red light at a pedestrian crossing, how is this solely the cyclist's fault?

Sometimes I love the internet. Other times... less so.

How did they clip his rear view mirror rather than his wing mirror???!!!!! 🙂

reported, and reposted asking my friends to report it.

how do you report it with farcebook?

[edit] just spotted the link how to report, please ignore...

Reported.

Ban FB.

In retaliation I suggest we all ride NOW and whack some cars and pedestrians.

EDIT: Creating that FB page now. 😈

•• Random violence inspired by Internet forum headline ensues ••

how do you report it with farcebook?

There's a bunch of links down the lefthand side, one of which is 'Report this page'.

Still, dunno what you're all getting your knickers in a twist about, joking about cyclists being an annoyance on the road and killing them/running them down is hilarious, it's not like it happens in real life.

Oh, wait.

Comments on horrific photo in the gallery:

***king love this photo... KILL EM ALL

"A drunk driver hit this fleet of riders - alot were killed and injured PRETTY SAD!! I guess when they are in a group like this its a terrible tragety but when there on there own being complete idiots its there own fault... apparently its ok for them not abide by road rules and red lights....???"

WTF?! 😯

How did they clip his rear view mirror rather than his wing mirror???!!!!!

Wing mirror? What are you driving, a Vauxhall Viva?

Also reported - all missing links collected together?

I 'liked' it to report it. How do I now unlike it?

Every time I look on FB, which isn't very often, they've changed it!

they like to drive in the cycle lane on my way home from work around here - tbh i just squeeze past and make sure to make eye contact. - the motorcyclists round here just sit behind the cars when they get up to them and toot the horn till they move.

im all for the motorbikes using the cycle lanes like that 😀

holland have it so right - its an absolute pleasure to ride my rediculously cheap folding bike round noord-holland !

you don't need to like it to report it.

Just click 'report page' on the left hand side

ditto

See what happens when idiots riding bikes jump red lights/ride on the pavement/etc - we all get the shit for it

Wow.... so sad....

Reported

reported - the internet does seem to encourage people to behave in an unbelievably ****tish manner.

Pffft - nothing excuses the malevolence of those tossers.

STUMPY - click unlike afterwards then you get a set of option to report it and say why you are 'unliking' it.

see what happens when some drivers speed/drinkdrive/toolaround - all motorists get shit for it...oh wait, no they don't

[i]Pffft - nothing excuses the malevolence of those tossers.[/i]

Agreed

Probably worth reporting some of the worst comments too.

Such as this guy:

[url=

Taafe[/url]
A cyclist gave me the finger today - I deadset nearly crossed two lanes of incoming traffic and ran a red light to mow the prick down - **ktard !

I'd really like ask him if it would be fair game for his six year old son, Preston (who is pictured in his profile riding a little scooter in the road) to be run down by one of those nutters. Tw&t.

FB users clearly get a bit over-excited. But still, who posts these messages under a picture of a horrific crash?

YOUR LYCRA CANT SAVE YOU NOW B*TCHES!!

damn~ he missed one!

KILL EM ALL

and

this needs to happen mroe often

Is this an American thing - or do I need to be scared?

I expect it's mostly kids
and van drivers

Got to stop the light jumping, it's about the only thing they have us on.
You might not believe this but I'm squeaky clean on the bike, never do red lights even if others around me do.
However the lights by me can't be activated by cycles? so you either have to wait for an obliging car or jump them. 😐

I expect it's mostly kids

Sadly it's not. Look at the profiles of the posters (mainly completely public) many of them appear to be semi-functioning human adults.

Public FB profiles = mental. I wonder what their bosses or future employers will make of these posts when they google their names (as is pretty standard practise these days).

Funny int it, if the UK posters were encouraging rioting/looting they'd be getting a jail sentence. Possibly the same if the EDL or islamic group created a "hate" page. But something like this, "oh it's just frustrated people letting off steam, it's harmelss". Who decides these things (well us obviously)?

Can't see an 'unlike' button. Every time I use facebook, I remember why I don't use it. I must be getting too old to navigate it or something.....?

Perhaps reporting it, automatically 'unlikes' it.

Don't waste your time typing a reply to the stupidity.
It's just some spotty oik with a bodykitted car attempting to be funny.

reported also

Sadly it is 50,000 spotty oiks 😯

People going on there to argue with the retarded members of that group - and the point of that is...?

Way to much text speak and general illiteracy for it to be very credible. Reported anyway.

Keyboard warriors. Most of them probably still live with their parents.

Decent troll.

Got the drift and reported it as a creible threat of violence.

Shower of dickheads.

Reported.

Reported. Nobbers.

Reported also. After the recent rioting, and some of the stuff posted by my "friends", none of this surprises me.

Just asked [url= http://twitter.com/#!/carltonreid/status/111057366157496321 ]Carlton Reid to tweet it[/url]

So hopefully some more reports coming soon from his 5700 followers.

It's alright chaps, it's all a joke.

What are you on about mate? It's always been a joke, maybe if your Lycra wasn't so tight your mood might bit better and you might not expect everyone to wish death on people... Keep on making assumptions mate, ignorance is bliss

maybe if your Lycra wasn't so tight your mood might bit better

so its an off-roader baiting the roadies again. i blame binners.

maybe if your Lycra wasn't so tight your mood might bit better

I thought the STW collective agreed that cycling was the cure for depression?

Now it seems it's actually the cause (for roadies anyway).

Seriously considering dumping the bike and buying a knackered old 4x4... Might pollute, might offend, might get in the way, might bump off a few cyclists a year, but at least I'll be happy.

Isn't it a bit rich to assume that a lycra wearing cyclist is a roadie? I mean, FFS, is it beyond the realms of possibility that a cyclist could be wearing lycra AND riding an MTB? Mother of Mary and the sweet baby Jesus, not all mountain bikers want to hid the paunch under a pair of baggies or have their lack of skill compensated for by buying the latest FS monstrosity. Sheesh!

but don, its not possible to wear lycra and ride a mtb... that'd be like wearing spd's on a mtb!

ok... i'll give you another example: you might as well say that people with shaved heads, tattoos and angry dogs are actually nice people sometimes!

madness!

and i'm qualified to identify madness.

😆
But I'm not mad, I've got papers that clear me of all signs of madness and as long as I keep taking..... too much info..... got to go now...

What about bib tights and spds?

😳

And reported

phil - I've got a shaved head and tattoos, but unfortunately my dog is a big old chocolate labrador, and not remotely angry. He once dragged me a bit suddenly when he saw a chip that somebody had dropped, but that's been about the extent of his anger. Not sure where that leaves me, to be honest. Most of the comments under that facebook picture were from Aussies, by the way. Coming over here, taking all our barwork, etc, etc.

If Rolf Harris ever drives up behind me I so going to cut across him and shoot through the nearest red light.

** s****s anticipating said moral victory **

Facebook started off as a way for people who went to university to keep in touch. I am sure at one point you had to have a .ac.XX email address to sign up. Then they let everyone else join and it went down hill and for that reason...I'm out!

hmmm ostraylianz eh, i herd everyone ova thair is a preevyus tenant of her magistys prizun servis, if she new thay werr steelin our bars to sheed go mental!

Doesn't bother me. Anyone who actually tries driving in a bike lane will only get about 20 feet before getting stuck behind a car parked in it.

I think they've got a very valid point..

Reported.
Coincidentally, I was driving down a road in Warrington with a cycle lane - the van in front and the car behind were both driving in the cycle lane.

Drive in the cycle lane if ya want but you'll have to kiss my...

Read the comments on the Profile Picture (of a car ploughing into a peleton, sending bikes and bodies flying into the air and quite possibly killing some of the riders).

[u]NO ONE[/u] who looks at that photo, "Likes" it and posts comments like "Death to cyclists" or "Probably best picture i have ever seen, These c**ts ate sh*t" has a "very valid point".

Clarkson strikes agin.

GrahamS, I believe no-one was calling for death to cyclists and it was all a joke anyway.

don, "Death to cyclists" was a direct quote.
Some other choice quotes from the comments on that photo:

"Take that u c**ts get off tha road" (37 likes)
"F***ing love this photo... KILL EM ALL" (16 Likes)
"plough straight into the c**ts" (5 Likes)
"the guy in the car is a bloody legend"
"Cyclists blood will paint our roads as long as they keep ridding"

"this photo is a bit harshh, but its a joookee? who cares.."

Some joke!

sorry grahamS.. I was being sarcastic

I'm completely with you GrahamS, here's a coupe of direct quotes from a conversation earlier today.

[b]Driving on the bike path just to see how cyclists like it [/b]Threaten with death? Mate you've lost the plot, this page is a joke and says nothing about killing people... It incites nothing, except w**k*rs like you who can't take a joke to have a word...

don & yunki: apologies. That page has got me wound up to the point that my sarcasm detector has obviously blown a fuse. 😳

I'm letting it wash over me.. there is some right foul stuff on the internet.. you want to see some of the right wing pages to get a taste of some really sickening ingnorance..
I think I've become de-sensitised..
I reported it this morning although I couldn't stomach it long enough to trawl through the comments to report individuals.. but it needs doing..

I hope this doesn't upset some of you...but the internet isn't real you know.

"[i]I hope this doesn't upset some of you...but the internet isn't real you know.[/i]"

Except it is. And the malicious arsecandles that put things on it are.

I hope this doesn't upset some of you...but the internet isn't real you know.

In that case my imagination is more f'ed up than I ever realised 😯

The Internet may not be real but some bloke was jailed for inciting violence during the riots, why not these people too?

Jugin bi the speling, non of the poster's on that page are actuly road users so it shud calm down now they are backin skool.

Nah, they are mainly adults.

The illiteracy is due to the high number of Aussies 😀

I see the complaints have at least forced them to change the profile picture. That's a start.
