    Wow, what a great idea :roll:

    I assume you will be launching similar campaigns for walkers, horse riders, runners etc?
  • Look at your headline on your site. It's the first thing anyone sees. Think about what it says.

    If you're serious about what you say do consider that headline and whether it makes any sense. ;)

    ddraver - I concur!

    @ Banthebike - If that's the best work you can produce after 10+ years of education then I really don't think I few weeks training is going to be of any benefit to cyclists.

    I aim to please 8)

    I hadnt clicked on the link fearing some clickbait crap, turns out I wasnt far off head line of
    Every year around 70000 accidents are involved with cyclists

    Which year and country? Please use grammer as well with links to your sources.

    Unfortunately coming to a site for cyclists where i'll dare say most of us have had incidents with other road users i'snt going to go down to well.

    Mean time I'm going to draft up my petition to ban vending machines, on average two people a year in the US are killed by these monstrous devices.

    World class trolling...a dedicated site, a petition, terrible English...everything you could want and more.
  • What would be REALLY funny would be to check who registered the site and whether, for example, they were involved in sport in some way. Perhaps nutrition?

    What a c*ckwomble.

    We want cyclists to be responsible on the road, accountable for their actions and our roads safe again!

    Yeah cos its always cyclists that kill motorists by colliding with them isn't it ?

    And motorists are meant to have passed tests, have licences, and still they manage to crash, kill and maim innocent bystanders and themselves in great numbers.

    You're not very bright are you ?

    but someone would not be such a troll would they?

    Why would you call yourself "Ban the Bike" if you aren't actually campaigning to ban bikes?

    The irony of the line "think they are kings of the road" is amazing. You actually do seem to think you are the king of the road so why do you make out it's everyone else that thinks they own the road? There were 18 pedestrian deaths in 8 years, how many pedestrians are killed by cars? I see people breaking the law driving all the time and you are worried about a cyclist running a red light (which i rarely see). "Make our roads safe again"... wait, aren't they the safest they have ever been? What a ridiculous statement.

    Maybe his other site is "Ban the Car", which he's publicising on Petrolheads.

    If you are to start a campaign to ban vending machines on a similar wagon, you need to think about KSI not just killed. In that manner you can claim all obesity related deaths. As we know vending machines are full of sugar, crisps and chocolate. We know that fatties love sugar crisps and chocolate - therefore vending machines are costing the NHS £5bn a year.

    I love the cyclist nearly causes an accident clip - it should be called tool finds a bicycle.

    I would reply but it is pointless as that is the last we'll see of that user. Shame, I had some constructive fedback too
