Mail on Sunday article claiming he ran a group of cyclists of the road has now been modified.
However the original article read;
"Twenty minutes into my test drive I pulled round a leafy bend, enjoying the bird song - and spotted those damned Spider-Man cyclists.
"Knowing they wouldn't hear me coming, I stepped on the gas, waited until the split-second before I overtook them, then gave them an almighty blast on the horn at the exact same time I passed them at speed."
He added: "The look of sheer terror as they tottered into the hedge was the best thing I've ever seen in my rear-view mirror."

Another article in, yes you've guessed it, The Mail.
So I can't link to it. But it's not hard to find.

Can't find the column anymore, but here's a flavour;
A festive custom we could do worse than foster would be stringing piano wire across country lanes to decapitate cyclists.
I know there've been quite a few more, but I've forgotten.
Who have I missed?
wouldn't it be easier to start with non haters?
er....
😀
Possibly.

Horrible anti cycling diatribe in, you guessed it, The Mail.
Again, very easy to find.
Jezza - never quite sure how serious he is, but that's presumably not the point?
Rusty, can you please call the chef by his full name. James fat **** Martin.
Thank you.
And I'd like to add, Gary shit pundit linekar.
Was it Havers who said cyclists were 'lycra clad terrorists'?
Today's article in The Telegraph too. That paper being the Daily Mail for people who think they're intelligent...
It's just used as clickbait, get cyclists all up in arms about it, clicking through to the website and commenting. More clicks = more advertisers wanting to spend money with them. Papers are wise to that one now, it's easy fodder on slow news days.

Tell me more........
Was Andrew Marr not a bit ranty about cyclists a while back ?
This was before he went all super-injunction
Lineker and bike radar were involved in a pro helmet campaign a while ago. Turned out campaign also wanted compulsory training and insurance.
Bike radar distanced themselves, linear said anyone against this, most cyclists basically, was a swivel eyed loon etc.

Explains a bit of it.
"clickbait" and "linkbait" are excellent terms. Never heard them before, but I will use them from now on.
