I like that -- no hi-vis. The journalist still noticed the cyclist was wearing "1950s shades and a pretty floral dress". I'm not entirely sure hi-vis is necessary if you can see what the person's wearing...Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.0

"Sociologically, polls have shown that they tend to be a preening, upper-middle class bunch" Nice to see high class, well researched journalism in action. Pah!0

That article is confirmation Spring is here. Relax 8)0

So she doesn't like cyclists, or people who sit outside cafes (the bastards!), or French cinema, or Italian piazzas or modern art or.... pretty much anything.
'Never mind' as she might put it, eventually, with all that bile and spite she'll start dissolving herself from the inside out. I never thought I'd feel sorry for Piers Morgan, but now maybe I can feel, if not sympathy, then at least understanding.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Ah, bless. Nice cutesy little article aimed directly at the preening upper-middle class yummy mummy's and the like.0

And of course this lot are so confident on the roads that they will all be plugged into their iPods, calmly humming "lalalalala" along to Sasha Distel as that articulated lorry indicates left.
There are no words...I never thought I'd feel sorry for Piers Morgan
Agree with the sentiment there!0 -
London's cyclists are a preening, upper-middle class bunch who inhabit a fantasy world, says Celia Walden.
What a load of toss. As the daughter of a Tory MP, she might well be describing herself and her own social position. Silly, irresponsible journalism.0 -

I thought about posting this article, but decided that the Israeli one under it would have gone down better.
it's the comment section, meant to be opinion or a ramble. Amazing thing is that several journos get paid to write a comment about something they saw in their day to day lives each week.0 -
pulp grade Clarkson-esque "Why can't everyone just be like me?" space filler. Amazing how many people seem to make a living from writing witlessly about their gripes.0

The Telegraphs comments section has been down for most of the day, twitter has been full of "tweets" giving this bloody woman grief, now Disqus is back up and running I will add some grief to the bloody woman's page.0

I think you lot are missing the point here.
She has every right to be bitter and twisted, and take out her ire on whoever falls into her field of vision.
She has to put up with Piers Morgan clambering all over her, fulfilling his sick carnal desires.
Christ, anyone would live in a world of anger if they had to out up with that.0 -
I quite like Piers... when he purses his little soft mouth and his jellified features are all pulled gently into his own maw, stretching his delicate face flesh over his eyes... I feel quite turned on.0

It's a good job she didn't have a close encounter with DDD's tight buns or the article could have been even more disturbing0

Why bother with giving her grief. Its what she wants, extra publicity from which she could write another article complaining about all the grief the 'nasty cyclists' have give her.
It really isn't worth the energy.Officers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0 -
What a miserable individual - is there anything or anyone in London she doesn't hate? She and Piers Morgan probably deserve each other0

It's really not worth getting upset about.
Do I think she actually hold those views? - No
Do I think she was stuck for a column and went for a cheap topic that was guaranteed to cause a backlash and generate a load of pageviews and debate to keep the advertisers happy? - Yes
Don't fall into the trap, as if anyone else would actually read her columen anyway :roll:Bianchi C2C - Ritte Bosberg - Cervelo R3

+1 I doubt she believes any of it. Sounds like she was feeling grumpy and has been briefed to do some stirring...easy to pick on a vulnerable road user who won't really stick up for themselves...Mattsaw wrote:It's really not worth getting upset about.

I'm not sure what you're all getting so worked up about. The main targets of her ire are cyclists who act as though oblivious to the traffic around them - not signaling, wearing ipods etc. I've read more venomous rants against the same on these forums.0

On XS we get around this by quoting the article in full and img-ing the pictures in the OP to avoid said rag from getting excess (you see what I did there?) advertising revenue.bails87 wrote:Columnists exist to get people onto the website, generating revenue for the paper's owners......it looks like writing controversial things is pretty good at that

I don't mind "FWC", I don't care what weather they ride on, as long as they ride. More bikes on the road makes me happy, and if I have to slow down when I approach a FWC, or somebody who obviously is not very experienced, then I damn slow down, big deal. I'm not a driver after all!0
