@chug3345 @francesca_kms The fact you see using a bike as a hobby says a lot. What really IS selfish and entitled is one person in a car expecting to be able to drive from any point A to any point B in an already congested city with no consequence. Surely you see that, with your 53 yrs work experience?

@GoodwinMJ A weak and irrelevant dig at someone who is a naturally compassionate human being. Sad.

@thoughts878972 @wenvoe_wheelers Yawn, another poster displaying complete ignorance of how roads are paid for, LOL

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@CyclingInASkirt Big love and support for you from us in York ❤️🤞

@daveatherton @thatginamiller @BorisJohnson @GBNEWS Crass bigotry right there mate!

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@JohnJohnStewart It has been demonstrated repeatedly across the globe that building safe cycling infra induces further demand. Tell me that is a bad thing! What does it matter that WN inflates a few stats, other than to enrage our information overlords and their frothing dinosaur acolytes?

@gard39739 @tandemkate Thanks for sharing the snowflakery bud! LOL

@One_Minet_Park @TheBrumBikeCam Ignorant view. Go and read the highway code and come back to us.

@roadcc It's what happens when a business continually offers large discounts to customers, resulting in a wafer-thin profit margin. Add to that the cost of free shipping...It's not a healthily sustainable model, and will continue to damage many businesses, as it regularly has done.

@MalcolmBacchus @transportgovuk A lovely Dutch ebike addresses many of your highlighted issues, as shown by millions of smartly dressed commuters in Europe. Not sure how you would do your homework though...

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@deanspurs @transportgovuk Not worth a response LOL

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@transportgovuk I do, but I'm lucky I have a quiet route and I'm fit and healthy enough to do it. Many people fit and healthy enough, do not do it simply out of fear. The govt does not value any transport mode other than the car. Shown explicitly by PM and cuts to mass & active travel funding.

@rgjacket @MikeyCycling Your idiotic response does not warrant serious consideration.

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@BillyS2401 @theJeremyVine Hmmm.... in my 40 years of riding in groups of roadies (lycra louts, if you must...) I've never seen 4 abreast. How many riders were there in total, in your estimation? 4, 8, 12...? How many in your vehicle?

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@bsd_junkie @PPushbike @Pedalperspectiv Hahaha, impressive impersonation of someone who has no idea how roads are paid for.

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@Angry_Golfer91 @magnatom Oh yeah, remind me when that last happened...

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@QuinlanQuinlan @magnatom But, these cyclist actions you see loads of present statistically negligible risk to others, no risk to environment, and add fewer cars contributing to MOTORISTS' traffic problem. Which is worse?

@Angry_Golfer91 @magnatom But, these cyclist actions you see loads of present statistically negligible risk to others, no risk to environment, and add fewer cars contributing to YOUR traffic problem. Tough to comprehend...

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@NealOKelly @AndyCoxDCS Yeah, terrible country; they got it all wrong with their transport policies didn't they? Now they are suffering the consequences; high happiness rating, good health, strong economy. Active travel really kills a place...

[Piers Maffett @piersmaff]

@NealOKelly @AndyCoxDCS Oh my god, 2 and a half miles!! You're right dammit! Quick, get the car!! LOL
