Title: Robert Martin
What an idiot.
I think what most of the nasty drivers forget is that for every cyclist
on the road its one less car for them to get stuck behind. However I
must admit the Dyers pass road is terrible to drive up / down
especially with the Lycra brigade riding two a breast up a thin winding
road. No excuse for nocking people off the road or for driving a
hummer !

Exacerbated this week by
a guy who lives in Cashmere, drives a black Hummer (plate WARNIN with a
surround that says "does not play well with others"), and who posted
online this week that he had knocked 2 cyclists into the kerb in the
last 6 months and was quite prepared to do the same again, but who
subsequently half-heartedly apologised after he realised that he was
easily identifiable as Richard Freeman, the co-owner of the Sign of the
Takahe cafe/restaurant and a number of other businesses who look like
they will be taking a bit of a dent in patronage from now on.
Front page news in the Press on Wednesday I
think it was.
Following by an alleged case of car-passenger assault on
a cyclist at the bottom of Dyers Pass Road yesterday morning.
Neither side are completely blameless, and it's a small
minority on either side who make it seem more of a car/cyclist war than
it actually is, or than it should be.
Personally, I'm glad I've got a commute that mostly
sticks to quieter roads than the main arteries.

Likewise.
Although we won't mention the
current Cashmere-based shenanigans.
