ï¿½Cycle routes are very badly designed and it must be remembered that
bikes are vehicles as well, and we need decent cycle-ways.ï¿½

Typical sponging freeloader. Bet he doesn't want to pay for them.

Why should 98% of road users subsidise 2%?

legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

the same as in this case?

Pointless (for it is he):-
""On August 16, my mother was hit by a Lycra lout. She was crossing
the road
when a youth on a bicycle shot a red light, knocked her to the ground
and
left her with a broken arm.

Yesterday, a friend telephoned to ask about her health"

'She would be feeling better,' I replied, 'if she hadn't been hit by
another
bicycle the other evening.' " (Newspaper)

and the common denominator is ?

Gander sauce?

I was actually thinking it was that person rather than the mode of
transport, one accident is one thing, a second at the same place another,
but to go back and have a third is really suspect, maybe he is hoping for a
big compo payout?

The usual victim blaming, funny how you take the opposite line when someone is struck by a cyclist.

Why do you imagine he is the victim? He may have been the cause, quite
likely in fact since he has crashed at the same place three times.

There are several missing from yours. There's a "T", a "N", a "U" for a
start. Can't for the life of me think what the last one might be.

I wouldn't have expected you to come to any other conclusion.
