    A bloke on a local facebook group claims that “push bikes have cost the haulage industry millions over the past few years” and that’s why food prices have gone up.

    Come on, who’s been doing supermarket deliveries on their bike? It’s all your fault you know.

    Ah maybe it’s all the lorry drivers who have become bike mechanics to double or even triple their income.

    The overtaking of homo-sapiens by Artificial Intelligence shall be a trivially swift process.

    I think we’re barely talking about homo erectus in this instance.

    I wish but there’s plenty of evidence that idiots on facebook do drive cars too, unfortunately.

    And this is why I abandoned Facebook & Twitter. Too many folk who are unable to carry out joined up thinking spoiling it for everyone.

    I had one of these idiots pop up in my timeline the other day, I had a bit of an exchange with him and I think that he was actually prepared to bet real money that his BMW 3 series would be able to overtake me when I’m on my bike.

    It was then that I explained that I was a mountain biker.

    Never seen anything remotely like that on my Facebook. Just band listings and mtb stuff on mine. Must be a different Facebook.

    I dont get this?

    I will race him home from Central London to Surbiton, and I will beat him easy-peasy. On a bad day I can beat him home from Maidenhead 🙂 and I am a fat’ish 55 year old

    Tell him to get his opinions somewhere other than Clarkson or the Road Haulage Assoc, and/or maybe have an original thought once in his life.

    See what fireworks that sparks off 🙂

    What? How?!?

    its a well known fact that there are organised groups of eastern european cyclists who brake sharply at road junctions so HGV drivers rear end them.

    They then claim masses of cash from the insurance, which has pushed premiums up so far that hauliers are struggling..

    Local newspaper story comments section will do the trick as well.

    Christ, I did this once – Holy hell, I’ve never seen the like of it before or since. The levels of invective, spite and unfriendliness and down-right craziness was something to behold.
