You'll have to take his word for the fact that he finds you pathetic.
I dare say he's not the only one. In fact, I know he's not.


I can take being called pathetic for no reason, not much I can do
about that, but if I'm accused of having an irrational hatred of
anyone it's reasonable to ask for some evidence. Anything, actually.

They're building a maximum security segregated cycle lane on Southwark
Bridge, one of the quietest bridges in London (bridges in London are
particularly dangerous for cyclist, one killed by a moped rider on
London Bridge a couple of years ago). This lane has probablt eaten up
an entire year's cycling budget, and it's pointless and counter-
productive, I think. The limit of 30 on the bridges has never been
enforced bar Tower. Stopping and punishing idiot drivers would make
more difference and that, by the way, is anti idiot motorist, NOT
anti-motorist.
