    Ugh, football fans. I never quite understand, even when your team is really, really poor, how booing the entire team and management is supposed to help?

    Poor old AVB, really think he is the right man for the job.

    They think they're helping, but they've just forgotten their straws.

    This has turned pretty ugly pretty quickly:

    A lot of cyclists behave like retards so the best thing is to have a default position of treating all of them as retards unless an individuals actions proves otherwise.
    "Spare the rod, spoil the retard" - dash cam to prove law breaking and then make a citizens arrest. Advise the cyclist that he has broken the law and you have evidence. On that basis you are making a citizens arrest and then call the gardai.
    I have done this just once but I was very happy that the cops took the matter seriously once they knew I had video evidence.
    Its quite legal to make a citizens arrest and reasonable restraint is permitted - I have used cable ties but duct tape would be useful too


    It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

    You'd think he'd have gotten over it by now, it must be three years he's been having a go at cyclists on this site. Well that's all I'm going to say about him.

    I'm afraid I never really take note of who it is that starts these threads- something I should really do I suppose. However I am a little concerned at the number of these threads lately and some of the opinions generated in them. It does seem as if there is a rising level of hostility towards cyclists. I know it's always been there but is it getting worse?

    The thread about the bus driver in the Commuting & Transport forum is stunning.

    Something about the way those kind of people use the word cyclist...Do they not realise we're just ordinary people who use bikes?

    Angry little men are over-represented on the internet.

    There's probably a type. Sexually repressed/mildly homophobic, unable to deal with simple real world tasks like filling the car with petrol, easily intimidated by other men in the real world.

    That sort of thing.

    Certain elements of the media are no better. Someone posted a link to the Times yesterday to the MTV'er interview but in the same edition in their what's going up/down list they had cyclists in the down category, more specifically Dublin Bike users using the same crap argument about breaking lights and all that nonsense. And it's not the first time such things were published in that paper.

    Instead of rounding up a posse here to add further fuel to the fire, it might be more prudent to report the posts and leave it to the Motors mods when they come back online.
