Well, I tried to explain the situation to you. While the anti- motorist crowd are shouting down everyone else, you'll be wasting your time trying to find discussions about actual cycling on here. Your loss I suppose, but don't say you weren't warned.

That's the last time I try to help anyone like you. Yet again we have a case of a real (?) cyclist refusing to condemn the motorist-haters, so it really serves the real cyclists right that their newsgroup has been taken over by Spindrift et al.
