Yesterday afternoon, I saw Guy Chapman (or his double) cycling with three other people through a village centre near Reading. Chapman was cycling in a row with two other people (i.e. THREE ABREAST), and Chapman was the rightermost of them. As a result of this lawbreaking, they were stopping at least eight cars getting past, and they knew perfectly well that they were doing so, but would Chapman move in? Of course not; he was thoroughly enjoying punishing the motorists for daring to use such an illegitimate form of transport. And just to be even more spiteful, they were going as slowly as possible, in stark contrast to the "I'm going as fast as I possibly can because I've got to beat my previous time" attitude that they no doubt usually have.

Furthermore, when Chapman and co got to the end of the road, all four of them simply sat there, without signalling. It was a crossroads, and the different ways that their bicycles were pointing, they could quite easily have been going left, ahead or right. In the end, having sat there for a while when it was safe to go, they went right. And (thank goodness), I went left.

So, conclusions that we can draw from this little episode (albeit not new conclusions):

- Chapman hates motorists, and actively tries to make things more difficult for them, both when he is on the road, and when he is off it (by campaigning for anti-motorist measures).

- Chapman has no problem with breaking the law when he sees fit (by cycling three abreast, not signalling, vandalising cars etc), yet is incredibly sanctimonious about any motorist who ever does the same thing, no matter whether what they're doing is dangerous/inconsiderate or not.

- Chapman would appear to enjoy emulating Critical Mass whenever he's cycling with other motorist-haters.

- He is therefore a lying hypocrite.

DISGRACEFUL.
