Oh, this is of course a totally unedifying discussion (if it even
warrants that description), but I just fancied challenging Roland a bit.
He'll have the last word of course, but on rare occasions this bizarre
masochistic urge just grabs me.

(What I'm aiming for here is the unspoken "all" or "some" that precedes
"cyclists" in Roland's comments, and trying to tease out which he means.
Of course the ambiguity suits him very well, because it allows him to
spout off whilst maintaining a semblance of cover. Though you're right,
this branch of the discussion belongs on uk.transport.rant. I shall desist.)

No, don't let me spoil your fun. Normally I'd just have killed the
entire thread, but I perhaps over-reacted as sometimes it seems as if
uk.r**.c*****g is taking over the whole of what's left of uk.*.

Yes, I feel bad for encouraging / perpetuating this nonsense on utl in a
thread that should be about the upcoming fares changes, of which there
are some interesting things to say.

Paul C has, as ever, contributed a well reasoned and rational post which
essentially makes the point I was trying to make (as describe above -
the some/all muddle) with far more finesse than I could have managed.

I shall return to my SOP, which is to just ignore the anti-cycle outbursts.

Far more fun to actually go for a cycle up a gruelling hill then enjoy
breezing down the other side.
