1hill@aTime Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 why don't we all hold hands and start singing kumbaya, if we just accept being called losers... i agree, what image is he passing across, there's enough of us being mowed down daily.
Red Zone Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Good point saffa, perhaps make him understand that roadies in full euro kit and triathletes are fair game
Baaisikilist Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Or if he just bashed the cyclists who wear lycra shorts at any time other than when they're on their bikes, i think that will be fine.
AuctionLamb Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Now now....You all shouldnt get so worked up so early in the week. Its bad for you. Gareth might be a **** but he is one awesome radio presenter. One of the few thats keeping five FM alive. He makes controversial statements all the time....why? Because its his f**kInG job! Let him be...there is much more serious stuff going on in the world. So get back to work. could not agree more! there is people that does not even have a job or food and some people moan about some dude that does not like cyclists....

Bionic man Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Take him on a nice cycle - inform him - teach him - leave women out of it, otherwise he gets sidetracked. He might think he is Gods gift to women but this is Gods gift to all of us and the reason why we enjoy cycling. Anyway, we all know he is paid for being a donkeys A$$ so let him be.
Nettie R Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Petitions hardly ever get the reaction its subscribers want. If he doesn't want to accept a public invitation to ride in a team car to speak an 'educated opinion" (well said!), he doesn't want to be educated. Radio stations aren't worried about DJs speaking their minds, unless it's defamatory, hate speech etc. Instead wear your cycling clothes with pride, show him it takes more than a dumb @ss on radio to ruffle our feathers. Gareth who?
scotty Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Judging by the views and posts, Gareth Cliff is achieving exactly what he set out to do. The man is a genius.
linnega Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Cliff's show is typical of modern radio. Modern radio is designed to be direct on emotional controversial issues. A few comments designed to get an emotional response from callers and then get all the listeners worked up about the issue. None of this requires any thought by the listener. Most listeners find the comments funny because they have no emotional attachment to the issue, so it is amusing to see others get so worked up about the comments made. Simple formula made for simple listeners - a bit like soapies for the radio listener.
