Father, walks and rides bikes a lot and prefers not to be killed doing so, tweets mainly about the twin shambles of Brexit and UK travel infrastructure.
@n00dles71@CityPolice@Deliveroo@JustEatUK Couldn’t agree more.
Been trying to defend London cyclist behaviour on here recently as the poor cycling of these companies’ representatives sadly leads people to tar us all with the same brush.
Time these firms take some responsibility.
@DaveCornishX@SarahLudford As ever, fuck off Dave. Hold law breakers to account but don’t tar everyone with the same brush. And don’t make unhelpful generalisations.
@TiddelyPomPom@SarahLudford@but_cyclists Ok that’s completely not true. I also live in a town in Sussex and the county is one of the most car-dominated areas I can think of.
@blindandb0ujee@benjyminty@JohnJohnStewart@EricEatsPickles Ignoring ‘your lot’ for a moment (why even throw that in?), well yes she would - focussing on real dangers to us all would be far more useful than whipping up hatred online of people trying to get around safely on bikes.
@JohnJohnStewart@EricEatsPickles Because her anecdotes of annoying and antisocial behaviour are just that - anecdotes - and while I agree that such situations are personally annoying or even potentially dangerous they distract from addressing greater and genuine dangers.
@JohnJohnStewart@EricEatsPickles It’s very clear what she is saying; and it’s very clear that what she is saying is wrong and also not appropriate for someone in her position.
