Has Guy Chapman Ever Posted as Lou Knee?
|
| |
Has Guy Chapman ever posted as Lou Knee? Why will he not answer the question when he's been asked it by several different people (surely if he hadn't posted as Lou Knee, he would have just said "No" by now)? And why won't any of his fans answer the question "Why will he not answer the question?"? I think it's obvious to *everyone* that he *has* posted... more »

|
| |
I was greatly interested in a letter from a cyclist who had fitted a set of rear blue flashing leds to go alongside his flashing red ones.

Another Pedestrian injured by a Cyclist

|
| |
Its amazing how many are killed and injured and so much destruction caused by cars on pavements, and so few and so little caused by cyclists on pavements.
