As funny as it is tragic. Any ideas how we might deal with this charming character?

Just pretend they're not there, and go have a nice cup of tea.
...or give them what they want and react. I'm not a cop.
Im so angry and frustrated with the world and i can no longer use social media to abuse immigrants, women, fat people or gingers that i'll have a go at cyclists.
just report it to facebook
you have to stop paying attention to Facebook
you have to stop paying attention to [s]Facebook[/s] idiots
It's ok though cos we all cycle XC.
Maybe roadcyclisttrackworld should be concerned though?
Yeah ignore it.
Its pathetic.
With a bit of luck the anger will cause the moron behind the page a stroke.

Er yeah...more roadies here than you can shake an aero seat post at.
I always thought the forum name was a typo for singletrackroad(withpassingplaces).com
We used to ride off road until dcc paved all of the Peak District.
good luck reporting it ..... facebook dont seem to care.

You reported God I ****ing hate cyclists using the road for harassment.

just resubmitted using the promoting hate against a race/ethnicity option - the options for reporting are shite.
He hides behind anomnimity and is looking for an administrator for his page I sniff an opportunity for a double agent.
some of the comments on the posts make for funny reading in a sorta incredulous 'I can't believe some of these people exist' kinda way.
Life is just too much for some people to cope with.
It is the worst kind of ill informed "us and them" nonsense. But rather depressingly, if you ran through it and replaced the word "cyclist" with "driver" it would look quite a lot like this forum. Just less arguing over wheel size. 😉
22" chrome spinners FTW BTW 😉
Ignore.
There's a couple of folk on there that are ripe for reporting to Police Scotland - very tempting.....
If any of the members are discovered to be be in this group after being in a RTA involving cyclists then it's not going to look too good in court is it?
Take the positives. The world is full of idiots. If some of those idiots hate you, enough to get themselves all worked up about you, then I'd take that as validation that you're doing something right. You've won, really 😀
some interesting claims and boasts on there

Nothing. Just ignore it.
I particularly like this bit [i]If you own a bike.........JOG ON![/i]
Er.
And .....
Relax.
Start a rumour that it's a police operation gathering evidence on poor / angry drivers.
Or maybe it actually is a police operation, in which case leave them alone.
The great thing about that kind of site is it makes it easy to identify people of a certain persuasion.
What a bunch of sad fools.
Wittering on since 2011......
I'm tempted to set up a Facebook page called "God I ****king hate people, who can't spell, using the internet"
You could set up your own opposing FB group and pepper their comments with cross links...
Fight fire with fire, they seem to like just posting amusing pictures of cyclists in some sort of distress, mid-accident or shonky cycling infrastructure, I bet you could find some similar images of motorists in the middle of bending their tin boxes, Drinking/texting/****ing while driving or generally being bad at operating a car...
Better yet, respond to this post:
Who's keen on becoming an admin here to generate more interest? If you have any useful contacts it will help our cause too
And destroy them from within...
Apparently it's got 1097 likes thus far...
Or, more sensibly, you could just decide to not care, what a bunch of clarksonites without real social lives find funny.
These are just impotent individuals, with no influence over the world they live in, shouting at whatever they think has caused their general malaise to deepen this week, via the most convenient channel...
In another age they'de be blathering on down the pub or boring their work colleagues, these days FB is where they go to vent their spleen and be ignored by the rest of the world...
you have to stop paying attention to Facebook [s]idiots[/s]
FB is just unnecessary - are you 16?
no longer use social media to abuse immigrants, women, fat people or gingers
Woah! Since when did gingers get off the hook. Have I missed something...?

16 year olds don't use FB now. Too many old people on it they say.
Someone just needs to share the page with Drunkcyclist. 😆

Well I've just forwarded this thread and the link to the FB page to the media team at British Cycling, CTC and Carlton Reid and asked them to make a public fuss about it...
On the one hand anyone who starts or joins a page like this clearly has bigger issues in their lives than cyclists and giving them the oxygen of publicity may or may not be helpful... but it is pure hate speech and it only takes one of them to lose all perspective and take the sentiment too far when they're out driving and we have another dead cyclist.
I like the bus driver quotes, he sounds amazing.
I reported it, but got a message back saying it doesn't violate community standards. So I'll give it a couple weeks before somebody real and sane looks at it, then if it's still up, adios facebook. Sure they'll be gutted, but it violates my standards.
I posted on it. 😀
Or how about someone posts on there as though they are one of them but really utterly thick crap. To embarrass the haterz?
I don't think they understand the concept of being embarrassed.
