Oh LOOK! They're all anti-motorist! Would you Adam and Eve it?

URCM is an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE, even more than I thought it would be. The anti-motorist bias and the effort that goes into stopping reasonable, moderate comments from being posted when they highlight inconvenient truths is just astounding. Never mind uk.rec.cycling.censored, how about uk.rec.cycling.1984?
