On closer inspection, for some odd reason Spindrift posted a story about a *motorcyclist* going through a wire, straight after complaining about Matthew Parris' comments about cyclists. Like Sir Jeremy, I'm surprised he posted that, bearing in mind that he hates motorcyclists as well. I can only assume that like me, Spindrift missed the "motorbike" in the first paragraph and thought it was about a cyclist. Otherwise his post makes even less sense than normal, and also, he wouldn't have wanted to draw attention to the fact that he was much more concerned about cyclists going through wires than he was about motorcyclists.

In fact, if it were possible to put wires across bus lanes which got motorcyclists but not cyclists, I'm sure Spindrift would be doing so right now. We've already had his militant counterparts in Belfast painting over the pictures of motorbikes on bus lane signs, and deliberately not letting motorcyclists past...they'll do anything to stop those terrible, non-socialist machines from using bus lanes, no matter how much safer it makes everyone. The level of spite and negativity is breathtaking.
