    Twitter's all over it.

    Probably not all that bad, but y'know, fun to be 'outraged' on a dull Thursday afternoon.

    Yes, probably not worth getting completely wound up about but it lends credence to the belief that drivers rule the road and that cyclists "get in the way" of the supreme road users...

    as a daily driver on busy roads, I tend towards the temperate view that the only good cyclist is a dead one

    If only there were some alternative to this daily drive! Lol.

    But yeah, even on this dull Thursday afternoon, I am unable to be wound up by this.

    Yeah. Tend to agree.

    A lot of heat on twitter though.

    Must be a boring Thursday for everyone. Glad I'm not alone.

    It's a pretty stupid thing to print - especially given the demographic of Richmond. I quite enjoy that Twitter gives these people something to think about.

    Does he have any idea how many of his target audience own several expensive racing bikes, that they ride, in Richmond? Facepalm etc. :roll:

    #2 Boeris Italia race steel
    #3 Scott CR1 SL

    That's his temperate view?
    I dread to think what his view is like when he is angry.
    PS:- I refuse to click on the link. It only encourages them to write more bollocks.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    It's just a pdf of their editorial. No ads or anything like that.

    Thanks. That just wasted another few minutes of a boring afternoon. :wink:

    I hate receiving that unsolicited crap magazine through my door as it is- all it ever does is add to my recycling pile. It is now even less likely that i'll actually open one.
