Just wondering if anyone had seen this blog post [url= http://ht.ly/8QFlB ]Andrew Grimes blog[/url]
I saw it on the cycling plus twitter feed. Andrew has some interesting opinions.
Sorry if its been done before.... I did look for it.
someone needs to tell him Amsterdam and Copenhagen were not "blitzed to smithereens" IIRC they were not even bombed.
i managed just the first two paragraphs
so in the interests of STW tradition, i would like to agree wholeheartedly that SS fixies are for fashionistas and 96r monta crossas are the future. peace.
since 2001, 1,271 cyclists have died on British roads
A quick Google reveals that between 1999 and 2008 (a similar time frame to the one in the article), there have been 32,298 deaths on the road. Cyclists are a really rather small proportion of this number.
Personally I'd hate to have to commute in London, yet go to somewhere like Cambridge and you'll see it is the car that has no place on the city roads. Bikes dominate the inner city.
I can't decide if it's a serious article or he's being deliberately obtuse just to generate a reaction (like that radio station boss a few weeks ago).
Yep. Another regional newspaper nobody trying so desperately hard to be controversial and demonstrating his journalistic failings by getting all his key facts wrong.
Another sad Clarkson wannabe. Don't give him the satisfaction or the pulicity by moaning. Just remember, he'll die of a heart attack long before us. 🙂
Read that yesterday.
Tried to care.
Felt like I probably should care.
Failed to care.
Pretty happy with how it turned out. 😀
Hmm i'll keep an eye out for her on the way home 😉
Getting a bit of a pasting in the comments section
^^ dammit. so it's got a load of undeserved attention.
I commented "Zzzzzzz", but it tells me I need to login or register for it to appear. For obvious reasons I really CBA.

Odd. He's clearly very sporty and doesn't look the type to hold irrational prejudices...
Ah MEN, thought I recognised the name (didn't want to add a hit to the page by clicking the link) The blokes a bit of a nob basically, he spouts all sorts of shit so I wouldn't bother too much about it.
He's a looker though, ain't he?
Untameable hair in that popular pubic curl style, double chin in waiting topped off with Dreary Barlow specs.
He must have to beat them off with a stick....
lol i read this at dinner and it was just written to provoke to be honest. ignore him, most people do.

I was slightly annoyed when I read that article yesterday, but after seeing that picture suddenly I find myself [s]overwhelmed with pity[/s] giggling uncontrollably instead. Heeheeheehee! 😀
Having said that, they let people drive with bottlebottom specs like those? Scary...
Bo Selecta!
