See above. Do you have any views on bad drivers? If not perhaps don't comment. Clearly I can't stop you posting irrelevant comments.

Wow, that is the most confusing post I've seen on this site. I'm sure I would agree if I understood it. Perhaps you or others would like to translate.

Silly comment, unnecessary and not contributing to proper debate.

Oh come on, you and others go on and on and on about cyclists. This is just providing a little balance. A large car blocking a street does far more to inconvenience others than any bike will.

I'm still posting on this thread until it turns into an anti Southwark/cyclist/LTN/CPZ/ULEZ/school street thread. Two drivers today, large Volvo SUV did a u turn by Frogley/Nuffield, then hovered by a parking space that was too small, then blocked the road for everyone. Then a short time later another driver blocked Bawdale Road, parking with their hazards on, outside a garage, then proceeded to reverse several hundred metres still blocking the road. Not dangerous but just inconsiderate, first was probably on the school run and exemplifies how silly SUVs are in tight urban roads , It's clearly not every driver, but thanks for giving me opportunity to get it off my chest. Hope the car identified in the post above has been reported to the Met Police. I did similar for a DHL van that was not taxed that drove at me on purpose; whilst DHL were good in receiving my complaint (as well as reported to the police) they would not tell me the outcome. It was a contractor not employed directly by DHL.

TTFO is a facetious comment aimed at doctors, who in their arrogance used to write inappropriate stuff about patients. NFN was another one - Normal for Norfolk. It didn't translate appropriately on this thread - apols for that. TJ actually kept me waiting yesterday, quite rare, but perhaps my issue wasn't as serious as I thought. The mind boggles. But waits for appointments seem to have improved in the slimline rationalised version.

Good heavens Earl and are being trolled on a thread that we know nothing about, that seems to have been dormant for years. You are going to some length to troll us. And no I don't think it is funny, and if I was to do same I'd do something rather rude. Which I wont. Another thread I am leaving, even if this is the first post that I have made here.

The number of successful appeals is very small, but shows that the system works in that occasionally PCNs could be issued incorrectly/there were special circumstances. My two appeals in the distant past were not successful and whilst I felt a bit like Rockets at the time I now realise it was futile as I did not have a valid reason. So this whole thread about you being upset about a justified bus lane fine won't change a thing. Another thread that to me feels pointless so I am now no longer posting on this one too. Very liberating

There is so much wrong with the debate on this and most of the other transport threads. Firstly sweeping and personal statements like the one above. Those who have a different view apparently do not follow the Highway Code. Never have I, or I expect others similarly minded, made similar accusations that those posting complaining about cyclists, LTNs etc drive irresponsibly and dangerously and agree with such behaviour. And in the great scheme of things the above post was fairly mild. Secondly other personal jibes as just seen on the Dulwich Square thread Thirdly the childish nah nah nah "well you would say that" retorts Which brings me onto the whole pantomime approach. This is similar to what is playing out on our media by politicians and public figures such as Johnson, Farage and Clarkson. Avoid the question and turn on the other party. Farage did it on Question-time - looks to the audience, raises his eyes in disgust/contempt when Campbell challenges him on Brexit; Clarkson in the Victoria Derbyshire news interview when asked probing questions retorts about woke BBC and useless civil servants looking to other protestors who no doubt share these views bypassing the question. That's the approach a number of you adopt on these threads when we post an alternative view, often backed up with substance. I'll leave it there. I doubt if I will change things. I'll get on with some proper campaigning. Farewell.

Very distorted and unnecessary comment. I was talking about freak events. Offensive. You would be better off on nextdoor.com

None of the cyclists posting here think this way (not following the Highway Code). Not sure why you think like this. This attitude is not helpful for a grown up conversation.

This is what I said. A freak death following a scuffle outside a pub. They don't then ban pubs. Or someone trips over a paving stone and cracks their head open. They don't ban walking. The original member of ELO who died when a hay bale fell off a trailer. They don't ban farming. Because occasionally s.... happens. So sadly occasionally someone is hurt or seriously injured when they get hit by a bike, the vast majority because they stepped into the road without looking. But only one example of when I bike was likely going over 20mph. Very sad, but a rare event.

You should join Southwark Cyclists for one of their Saturday healthy rides. You profess to being a cyclist. It would help get rid of these dreadful stereotypes that you keep portraying and perhaps open your mind a little.

Nice and appreciate the large font so that I don't need to use my reading glasses

Of course I did. There are always freak deaths, a scuffle outside a pub and someone falls awkwardly. On the whole ...... Young children find it difficult to judge speed, hence one case for 20mph zones. As I keep saying, but it falls on deaf ears, you would struggle to find many cyclists going over 20mph in the area. Perhaps you should invest in a speed gun and do your own sample. You could then report back something new.

Think you must need a popular front for Dulwich. Or a Dulwich popular front. I get confused between the two

I don't know you wait hours for an anti LTN thread and then three turn up at once. I blame society once people stopped wearing hats.

It's been explained many times, but you are very closed mind. Force of impact depends on mass and velocity. As bikes with rider weigh around 5 percent of a car then a collision with a human will do a lot less damage. This will not eliminate collisions, and ultimately would increase bike on bike, but the severity would be less. So there is a limited debate on speed control and bikes where the argument can be summed up as a speed limit would be disproportionate to the harm, impractical, unlikely to have a significant impact and expensive. It would not get through the tests on new legislation. Frankly it would be an embarrassment. But this whole thread is polarised as a small number of you are angry about LTNs, ULEZ extension, CPZs, school streets and even bus lane and want to put the blame, in part, on cyclists as whole, cycling groups, road safety campaigners, health benefits of active travel and those wanting to address climate change and poor air quality. And use a tiny number of cases when very few riders will regularly exceed 20 mph let alone 20 kmh on our roads. Surreal. Edited to add, that was responding to Rockets post

So they have action as well as words. Well done to them. Rather than just bleating on, on this forum. They are open about their affiliations. Members can boot them out if they don't like it

Why are you defending people driving their kids to school? Why do you jump on every pro driver argument? It's not a debate when you immediately take the opposite view. The fact is when the private schools break up the week before state schools the South Circular is much quieter.

I was knocked down on Red Post Hill in the 90s cycling home. Driver, speeding, tried to get through a gap that wasn't there. Left me for dead knocking me into a parked car. Owner of the parked car said no worries, it's an old car, and drive me home. Bike was written off, I was almost written off. As said numerous times the only times I have nearly cycled into a pedestrian is when they walked into the road without looking. The one that didn't even acknowledge that I had to brake swiftly I told I would run over next time, but other than that I've been stoic. Cycling in an urban area I'm rarely above 20. That'll km/h.

How can anyone in London not know with your campaign? Surely you must have gone viral.

98 percent of pedestrians injured on pavements and on verges are following motor vehicles mounting the pavement/verge. Campaign for the maximum speed for every road user to be reduced to 5 mph, and/or with someone walking in front with a red flag. Good luck. https://www.cyclinguk.org/briefing/cycling-and-pedestrians

Saw him in the West End theatre many years ago. He was just starting a revival in recent times. Sad news.

Who changed the title? Faeces is just a term nobody uses unless they are in the medical profession, and even then they probably say ,'stools' For common parlance muck, dirt or poo is fine, you don't have to resort to the s or c words.
