To listen to Lowell ‘maybe we should shoot them’ Green cyclists in Ottawa are a scourge, they are rude, they are inconsiderate, they are unsafe, and (horror of horrors) they are unlicensed….. and “something” needs to be done.
There is no doubt in my mind that there are cyclists in Ottawa (and every other city in Canada) that are rude, inconsiderate, and unsafe - but to paint all of us with the same brush is stupid beyond belief, unless of course Lowell and those who agree with him are willing to be lumped into the same group of “car drivers” as the idiot on Highway 148 just west of Thurso who “didn’t see” a motorcyclist and killed him.


Another incarnation of the URQ mindset defined thusly;
Anyone who is different from me and/or gets in the way of my lifestyle and/or beliefs is inherently bad, and SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.
