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

Agreed, although the person in [i]my[/i] life is not a friend, just a sister-in-law mouthing off about 'the blacks' on Facebook even though her two teenage daughters use the service too. Stupid, senseless bitch.

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

[b]Driving on the bike path just to see how cyclists like it[/b]
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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

😯

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".

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!

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...

and...

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..

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

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.
