Folk who take the trouble to open multiple sign-ons to this Forum, but spout the same stuff, with the same use of language as on their other iterations.

Mind you, is it irritating, funny or sad? :D
Report it to the mods if you suspect it. I believe they can escalate it to those who own the forum and have the admin rights to track down whether it's true.
Having had a couple of posters in the WHS misery threads repeatedly suggesting that I've got multiple accounts, I can confirm that is also irritating.

How are we measuring "problem" here?
Causing injury?
Killing people?
Greenhouse gas emissions?
Air pollution?
I think there may be a problem, but it might not be the people choosing to cycle....
Spend 10 minutes at any busy traffic light controlled junction anywhere in the capital and all will be revealed... half wits on Lime or Santander bikes with absolutely no road sense whatsoever, couriers who ride like they have 9 lives, deliveroo types who are paying more attention to their phones than the other traffic, its pretty lawless out there 😄

Think you are confusing people who ride bikes with cyclists

Surely it would be under the same IP which I believe the mods have the ability to see and block 🤷‍♂️
We do but it is not a cast iron guarantee. There are also ways around this.

As always, we request that people report and then we can elevate to the powers that be. They can look deeper into things than we can and we can weedle them out that way.

They normally give themselves away with in jokes and bringing up old arguments when their brand new anyways. It's pretty easy to spot 🤣

It wouldn't be the internet if I didn't post this.... ;)


From the OED...
cyc·list
[ˈsʌɪklɪst]
noun
cyclist (noun) · cyclists (plural noun)
a person who rides a bicycle:
"he is an avid cyclist who sometimes rides his bike to work"

Someone did that a few weeks back, only joined "this year" but was then regaling about a forum meet back in 2018 or something 🤣 🤣 🤣

Then the instant back tracks when you call them out "oh I've been reading for years but I just joined"

Beep beep this ex forumer is reversing
