Have you noticed that they've banned comments on the story? Due to sick people like you insulting someone you have never heard of with obscene and disgusting quips.

Glad I am few people.

I have no fucking interest in looking good in YOUR eyes.
After all I ride a bicycle, a very convenient delightful economical
viable means of transport.
And we all know what YOU think of bicyclists. You think they are the
fuckwitted pits of humanity.
And because it is YOU who think that, that is an extremely great
compliment.
We must be doing something right.

It really is a very great compliment to be called a pansy by YOU.
Especially by YOU.
