cyclist gets window cleaner sacked
« on: April 14, 2010, 09:02:12 am »
heard this on radio 2, jeremy vines show......van driver and a cyclist.......cyclist had an argument with a van driver over being too close...van driver was abusive to the cyclist, cyclist phones van drivers employer which is a window cleaning firm, they have camera in all the vans, checked the footage, window cleaner gets sacked.

drive carefully out there guys.....watch out for the mean old nasty nice cyclists.

im always careful of cyclists as i used to bike to work at 630 in the morning and the amount of times irrate drivers nearly knocked me down while rushing to work was unbelievable!! ::) ::)

im so glad i dont have to do that now.i was 19 at the time and skint,couldnt afford a car doin a crap landscaping job for just above min wage. ::)i dont miss them days!! ;D ;D ;D

IMO WE SHOULD ALL HAVE A BIT MORE CONSIDERATION FOR CYCLISTS APART FROM THE LYCRA WEARING TYPE RIDING TWO ABREAST WITH THEIR RIDICULOUS GEAR ON!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

I recon its nonsense and just another way to advertise on the radio free, probs as much truth in it as them getting helicopters for wfp,

Hate cyclists full stop >:(

If they were taxed, insured and mot'd like I have to be to use the roads I'd have a bit more respect for them.

Even stopping at a red light would be a start!!!

I'd love to see one go through a red light and get mullerd by an oncoming lorry; that would make my day; apart from disrupting the poor lorry driver's day of course ;D
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

To do it professionally he would have to wear the right gear and I suppose he could fork out a few quid and have his statement made into a leaflet and peddle that. If he sold enough he wouldn't be saddled with too much debt. It might stem the tide of antipathy towards cyclists if he made a wheely good job of it.

I hope I haven't made light of the subject; but on reflection I might have done. I'd better put a brake on this line of thought before I get barred.
