    Aah my stories arent on there yet. They must be moderated. But clearly not by the brightest person.

    So if the stories are moderated the simpleton probably thinks this is the fault of those bloody cyclists.

    Quite. I was wondering whether it was a deliberate parody (and it's not quite good enough IMO) or just crap moderation.

    My story was brilliant. Not up there yet. Sadly.

    My effort, I didn't want to try too hard unless it was moderated. sort of a gentle first attempt to see what got through. As it went up fairly quickly I assumed it was unmoderated, but it could be I was being too subtle.

    Far too subtle but it does show up the idiocy of the person in charge. Mine's not up. Damn.

    Ban The Bike calls for a compulsory cyclist training, compulsory identification objects, compulsory insurance! Help us take the first step towards the solution of this issue by signing our petition.
    We want cyclists to be responsible on the road, accountable for their actions and our roads safe again!

    Visit our website http://www.banthebike.com to let you prove that some cyclist are causing danger on the road.
    Sign the petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/113374

    Apart from cyclists already being responsible, accountable and safe you've got a great campaign going there.

    Looks like it's unmoderated. Yet my band camp story did not make it in :(

    Absolutely love the Ducati clip. Knocks off cyclist and blames him for forcing him to under take.

    I'm all for insurance, but I'm not buying it from someone who can't spell the word.

    "I'm biking along in my horse lane and this biker rams me from behind. Police take his side ! Useless."

    wish i had a horse lane. Surely with such constructive arguments it won't be long before we all pay our road tax, have big bright yellow reg plates and our very own horse lane each.

    Riding my bike story is well illustrated. Who put that story up? :lol:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

  • Why do cyclists need compulsory training? Something like 70% of cyclists or higher have full driving licenses. I read an really good blog which I'll find and post which extrapolates that as a percentage probably more cyclists have licenses and insurance than the majority of drivers. The argument runs that (these numbers are from the Society of motor insurers) something like 1.2 million drivers don't have insurance and there's a 90% overlap between unlicensed and uninsured drivers.
    Damn, I bit.

    That's got to be 70% of drivers are also cyclists? My 6 year old niece does not (as far as I'm aware) have a full driving licence and I’m sure a lot of children and young teenagers who make up the UK cycling numbers are also licence free.

    Maybe, I was quoting from memory, very fallible!
