Comment on Virgin trains bad attitude towards cyclists by SarfLondonCyclist

Incidentally, their booking system is only open until 4pm on Saturdays. Or is that their Customer Relations team. I’m not sure, since I physically can’t ring the 0871 number nor the 0845 one, so literally would be without the ability to book a bicycle, all due to greedy 0871 revenue-generation for a service that should be performable online.
21st-Century Britain, gotta love it. Since the capitalists obviously hate it and hate cyclists.

Filming is a good idea! Appealing to logic and reason doesn’t work with ‘computer says no’ muppets, but ego-defence, i.e. embarrassing them into stopping their own mental pain, might. Selfish twats.
I was trying to book a bike place (I don’t live next to London Euston Station strangely-enough so I can’t go in to do it in person and even if I did, my internet-booked tickets aren’t available for two hours meaning 11pm so it’s a no-go. Of course I’d be earlier if I hadn’t been messed-around by the national rail booking system two days in a row, but that’s another story.
No, I just want to ring up and book a bike place. Online? No.
After years of complaints, there’s still no explanation as to why this can’t be a part of the website. It’s part of other train companies’ booking websites (except I couldn’t even book a seat with Chiltern and one can’t book a bike place without a seat reservation, so a-gambling we a-go).
No, someone must be bribing Virgin to be part of this anti-cyclist culture we hold so dear in the UK. Perhaps oil shareholders?
Who knows, but logic and reason are not running the show here.
I will now have to get up about half an hour earlier for an early train anyway, to go and ‘beg’ for a space on the train for my bike (and what about letting me know before booking if there is one or not?)
If this isn’t a contrived attempt to be anti-cyclist, whilst pretending to be ‘green’ and ‘socially-responsible’, then I don’t know what one would actually look like. Probably more cycle-friendly, in fact.

I have problems with rude staff as I pass through Queen Street Station in Glasgow frequently. If I have a bicycle with me, as I do most days, I’m treated like scum; if I wear a suit and walk on I get no reaction. We should film these incidents and put them online.

Comment on LCC Safer Lorries Campaign by cyclodelic

Thanks Tony, my advice is to just hold back if you see a lorry up ahead. Keep another vehicles distance between you if possible, never undertake and if you have to overtake wait until you are on a section of road with no left turnings and clear on coming traffic.

Reblogged this on The Drippy Lube and Dirty Skid Mark Emporium. and commented: A very real threat to all road cyclists and commuters. I think we can all tell a story about a near miss or three. Learning to negotiate lorries on the road is a fundamental must for cycle safety.
