Vetplant Posted June 6, 2020 Share i have had cause to chat to cops on my rides, and i have stayed well away from their vehicles - the 2m rule works just fineCool. No further questions your honour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted June 6, 2020 Share Amazing - must be the nuanced argument that allows you to use the law in this instance - Jewbacca and Swift are right though - you're a law unto yourself Pyga - your approach embodies something that I see underpinning many ills of our age and it is evident to me that this approach is baked into the collective mind. You and your ilk are best left alone and ridden a wide berth around. Coming up against the implacable wrong-headedness of your approach and the rhetorical devices you and DD use in this thread to justify your stance is instructive to me of quite a few things so thanks for that. I hope you don't get sick with this thing, not least in case someone rides up behind you unannounced and not only for that reason. the cops have zero interest in solitary bike riders, but to entertain your hypothetical, if they stopped me, then what? there is no associated penalty or sanction attached to mask wearing, or that lack of it. they cannot arrest or detain you, so they may stop me and then send me on my way with a stern admonishment. i'm ok with that Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to look deeply into everything around me to critically understand the world i live in, but hey, you carry on sitting in scornful judgement. if it makes to you feel better to dismiss this as many have labelled it, being a rebel without a cause and similar such infantile framing, then have at it - certainly all your posts drip with disdain and spewing out derision on people who have the audacity to question the rules that literally govern our lives and freedom of movement. with apologies to letterkenny "MUST BE NICE" DieselnDust, guidodg, buchanan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted June 6, 2020 Share I have no interest in winning friends. And if you're not observing the safety protocols around me you are definitely not my friend. Actually no but maybe you should try to win friends and influence people in the community you're directing your anger ...? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted June 6, 2020 Share Yes this is the "my rights are being infringed upon argument" and anyone who insists I follow the established and simple safety protocols is a mindless zombie and a slave to authoritarian whim. Actually not so much Pyga - you're being asked to wear a mask when outside and exercising. That's all. It's not an affront to your critical capacities or an infringement of your rights as a free thinking self determining individual - do me a favour. it must be nice to be so sure of everything in life. i wrestle constantly with issues around me on a daily basis, and i reject the arrogance of professing to know all and judge all.

PygaSchmyga Posted June 6, 2020 Share Yes this is the "my rights are being infringed upon argument" and anyone who insists I follow the established and simple safety protocols is a mindless zombie and a slave to authoritarian whim. that truly makes no sense, and the little i think i understand is an obtusely reductionist, and certainly inaccurate paraphrasing. 0/10 - try again Actually not so much Pyga - you're being asked to wear a mask when outside and exercising. That's all. It's not an affront to your critical capacities or an infringement of your rights as a free thinking self determining individual - do me a favour. and again, you have chosen to ignore everything i have been trying to explain, and framed it incorrectly.

Jewbacca Posted June 6, 2020 Share Okes, go to bed. Raging at each other and trying to be the rightestestest isn't getting anywhere... I think some serious Dunning-Kruger effect is at play here, from all sides. Or don't... But I hope you're still proud of what you're up to in the morning.

Pure Savage Posted June 6, 2020 Share Think everyone has their ragey thing. I go on and on about motorists murdering cyclists and other roads users by drunk driving, cell phone use and no care for other road users. Some people go on about masks, some people go on about farm murders etc.. Andrew Steer, Wayne pudding Mol, Vetplant and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevief Posted June 6, 2020 Share It has been mildly entertaining this evening thoughI’ve had a few chuckles . Haven’t seen a chap get triggered like that for a while. Even Patch was trying to protect him. Must say I think he got away lightly . But was a great evening . I’m off to bed so I can be first in lions head tmrw .
