    Idiot !
    Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved

    It beggars belief that someone could be that thick.

    Proof indeed that natural selection is indeed failing.

  • Amazing - and people wonder why some drivers stereotype all cyclists as irresponsible. Just imagine there others just as stupid out there, and they are probably driving cars!!!
  • Was it Vtec?
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    I wonder what he does for a living. I can only assume it's digging holes in the road of something equally suited to his intellect.

    I'm not even sure somebody that stupid could manage to dig hole without some kind of difficulty.

    Just the reverse of the pantechnicon drivers going down single track country roads. Do we rely too much on technology?

    Did the nice officer remind him that he really should be wearing hi vis when out on the M25

    Hannah Leonard tweeted: "My usual 40 minute commute to work took an hour and a half due to a cyclist on the m25!"
    All the traffic was flowing feely other than 1 car which was stopped to let the cyclist cross the road. What does the BBC think that an idiot's tweet is newsworthy?

    When Boris Johnson finally gets assassinated I'm sure the BBC will be happily reporting what 'Dave from Doncaster' tweeted about it.

    The media love Twitter - they report it like a national disaster when some semi famous nonentity deletes their account. It may be the "other people doing their job for them" that they like.

    I'm going to find him, and install an app on his phone that asks him to transfer all his money to my account once a month.

  • Didn't a young Vino and some of his Kazakh mates go training on the hard shoulder of a motorway when they were over for the Milk Race in the early 90's?
  • Has anyone got a link to the Strava segment for this?
