And yet they also have less of an anti-motorist "culture" (where "culture" =3D wankers in "authority" and a few headcases like Crapman). That should tell anyone who's still too fucking thick to have worked it out that being anti-car and pro-cycling are COMPLETELY different things, and are actually usually in conflict.

Of course, few if any here are really in any doubt about that: the lying car-hating fuckwits simply pretend to think otherwise because they have selfishly hijacked the cause of cycling due to being too cowardly to admit to their actual wish: to bully motorists off the roads, whatever the catastrophic consequences to society. What utter pricks. If you're going to devote so much effort to pursuing a cause, surely you should be proud enough of that cause to admit to supporting it? Otherwise why bother?
