sad state of affairs.

I wonder if they ever thought about what might happen if one of the cyclists fell off his bike and onto the tacks?

Utter bunch of idiots.

By the way, did you know that Schiehallion (the main climb on the Etape) means "the fairy hill of the Caledonians"?

Now I wonder which fairy that would be?

This is clearly a cutting issue with the local community, but this tacktic is not right way to put across your point

"pop out of commuting"? Eh?

They're idiots of they think this is a legitimate direct action!

Probably the same people who blow up speed cameras and block the roads when the government raises the duty on fuel. :roll:

Just you tell them to talk to me, before filling your head with rubbish.

Now do your homework.

Surely you mean "other threads", I tend to only come back out of the SCR thread once I'm fully up to date with everyones scalping action!

Back OT, I think this is ridiculous, their arguments for doing it are utter tosh - since when has a rolling road block for 1 day a few thousand extra visitors to an area been a problem for local business? The sad thing is that some people might be put off taking part in this great ride now for fear of it happening again.

tardington

It's not even one day, if I recall - something like 3 hours in the morning...

Also, they've arrested someone.

And it'll be on next year. 8) But maybe with extra security - now who's got that Politi shirt?
