Check out this article in today's Aberdeen Press and Journal. Pedestrians are under threat apparently.

Something says to me that she might be lonely.

And I hope she stays that way!!!

P.s it sounds to me like she has a secret Lycra fetish.

More laziness passing for journalism. It's almost a by-numbers anti-cycling rant.

Yep, I agree. And it is our duty to crush these people like the tiny insects they are

If the pedestrians on the footpath were walking faster than she was she'd be there with a "who do they think they are, they see the speed walkers at the olympics and suddenly they think they have the right to walk anywhere they want, don't pay road tax to walk across the street, keep on cutting me up and expecting me to not run them down, then selfishly use pedestrian crossings to slow me down...."

I'd say she feels deeply unhappy with herself and feels threatened by people who are fitter and healthier than she is, who are not stuck where she is etc. Basically she is taking offence because she can, like any bully with problems that they then take out on someone else.

I'd suggest maybe if she got on her bike she'd be happier...

Actually I think her problem is that her dog attacks people on the cylepath & this is clearly the fault of the cyclists.

3 things:

1/ Find a cyclist on this forum who has a "duffel bag on the back of their bike"!!!

2/ "they have powerful bikes" - didn't know Duccatti made push bikes...

3/ "bring back the cycling proficiency test" er they have - it's called Bikeability

She's probably never ridden a bike and that's the problem. Getting your driving licence should involve several hours tuition on a bicycle (and possibly motorcycle) just to have some sort of empathy and understanding for the things which happen to you when on a bicycle.

4/ things actually - "they used to have cycle lanes" implying that perhaps they should still have them so that they wouldn't get in her way on the road...but she also doesn't want them in her way on the cycle path that she walks on - so where the f*** does she want cyclists? Gunatanamo Bay?

How sweet would it be to cycle past her, stop and flex your muscles at her and ride off.

Fat little woman sat in her car. I bet she cries herself to sleep (making an assumption here since she feels it ok to make assumptions about us )

Powerful bikes? How much horsepower does Campag Centaur have?

Sounds to me like her poor dog has had enough of her and is trying to commit suicide by bike - if only she'd give it a slightly longer leesh.

They get Bianchi to make them for them. They look rather nice too.
