In his consistent advocation of the persecution of motorists, it is ironic that Spindrift does far more damage to the cycling movement than he does to the motoring lobby. Not that he cares of course: he never cycles. It is even alleged that he doesn't know how to. His anti-car obsession is entirely negative and completely irrational. He doesn't care about cyclists and he doesn't care about people dying on the roads: he just uses those causes as excuses for his nasty, spiteful, bullshit-ridden crusade. If you're a cyclist, Spindrift is using you for his own purposes, and you don't need to put up with it.

The way that he conducts himself on forums and newsgroups beggars belief. Even many cyclists are utterly fed up with him. His lies, liberal use of ad hominem, refusal to answer awkward questions, and vitriolic invective are all carefully designed to cover up the gaping holes in his arguments. He has a reputation like no other. There are currently several pending lawsuits against him, and it is even suspected that he is on the run from the police for mailbombing the ABD, dangerously vandalising vehicles, and attacking motorists for no reason. Despite the risk involved, he still cannot stop himself from posting his poison, and abuses Internet cafe facilities in order to do this. He is a dangerous individual and should not be approached.

A leaked email from Spindrift confirms what most of us already knew: he knows that the Safe Speed position is correct, and that the policies advocated by Paul Smith would save lives unlike speed cameras, but he pretends to think otherwise, since such policies do not fit in with his anti-car emotions. Thus, he considers the persecution of motorists to be more important than the saving of lives. We've now had it from the horse's mouth. It is clear from this that he is a monster, and cyclists and motorists alike should unite against his hateful spoutings and get him off the Internet, and out of society, for good. Due to his mental state it is unclear whether he would be imprisoned or committed, but either way, he will be detained, and offered the help that he so desperately needs. Personally I think that being committed would be best; prison would facilitate continuation of his multiple drug habits, and it is vital for him and everyone else that these addictions are terminated as soon as possible. It may even be the case that they were responsible (at least in part) for the start of his callous, hurtful campaign.

Every two-and-a-half hours in this country, a road user needlessly dies. Some of these road users are motorists, some are pedestrians, and some are cyclists. Some are children. Spindrift doesn't care about any of these deaths, in fact he actively and knowingly encourages policies which directly result in them. In many ways he might as well be killing these poor, innocent people himself. He would have done less damage if he'd murdered five people instead of ever posting on the Internet. Incredible but true.

Spindrift kills cyclists. He isn't one himself. Those of you who still support him should instead contribute to the effort to find him before he does any more damage, or you or your loved ones could be next. It's high time. We need sensible, life-saving road safety policies, and to get them, we need Spindrift and his lies to be silenced for good.

Cheers and fives, please, as agreed
