Really ...How about savory pies? Jamaican meat pies?<br />Really enjoyed hearing you on the podcast, no surprise there, I'm a zealous reader of your blog!<br />Interesting to hear your comments re: safety on the same day that I read that the number of Americans killed in auto accidents rose above 40,000 for the first time since 2007. <br />I'm dismayed more than shocked. It seems that almost every driver I see is at least glancing at a device, if not actively using one. And I'm one of those crazy Freds who does manage to ride over 10,000 miles per year in NYC and the surround.<br />Cheers, here's to our mutual safety!<br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683487798796912083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-84636004301734937472017-02-15T21:00:55.066-05:002017-02-15T21:00:55.066-05:00ThisThisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852712541922449908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-20826149486955452502017-02-15T18:35:03.630-05:002017-02-15T18:35:03.630-05:00You didn't sound as whiny or nasal as I imagin...You didn't sound as whiny or nasal as I imagined you might...<i>#whatbitrateyourunning?</i>.<br /><br />There's a damn lot of pigs in I-owe-way.

My lightning reflexes, well-maintained diek brakes, and considerable skill avoided a collision. He was nevertheless very angry and expressed as much to a passing constable who then lectured me about taking more care. Anyway, that seems to be the norm with cycling in London. Squashed under a lorry - your fault. Take out an oblivious pedestrian- also your fault. The upside is that your typical daily mail reader lives in abject misery and nothing they read in the papers will ever change it.

But be in no doubt that when that's done, when negotiations are completed (or more likely have collapsed), when the foreigners have been kicked out, and Britain is a vassal state of Trump's America, the likes of the Daily Mail will turn their attention even more fully on "internal threats" like cyclists.<br /><br />But neither Trump nor Brexit should have surprised any regular cyclist. We've been on the receiving end of hatred due to other people's desperate attempts to avoid their own guilt for decades. Now other groups are getting the same treatment. Liberals say that society is better if nobody is discriminated against for being a member of a minority. This is self-evidently true, but it would make reactionaries feel guilty for their own past acts of bigotry if they stopped for a second to think about it, so instead they despise liberals. Scientists say carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is cooking the planet. This is self-evidently true, but it would make consumers feel guilty if they stopped for a second to think about the emissions from their own consumption, so instead they loathe scientists. Likewise cyclists, by their very presence on the roads, say that there is a form of transportation that doesn't kill thousands of people a year. This is self-evidently true, but it would make drivers feel guilty if they stopped for a second to think about their own near-misses, so instead they detest cyclists. All those on the receiving end of such hatred have no real power, yet they are cast as terrible enemies because they have put others on the wrong side of history and evidential reality, and that really stings. Enough for many people to vote for anyone or anything that says it is OK to hate them, and to pollute and be racist and intimidate anyone who gets in your way.ubercurmudgeonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-77627490932077921332017-02-15T16:37:35.889-05:002017-02-15T16:37:35.889-05:00What is it The Donald is working on, oh yeah, lear...What is it The Donald is working on, oh yeah, learning Russian.Putin on the Ritznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-11677226363368652142017-02-15T16:12:01.880-05:002017-02-15T16:12:01.880-05:00Read the article in Jeremy Clarksons voice...yeeea...Read the article in Jeremy Clarksons voice...yeeeah,Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332570158313833136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-80142857661890443782017-02-15T15:42:13.522-05:002017-02-15T15:42:13.522-05:00Slugging someone whilest in the grip of drink?
