An Attitude of an LBC radio presenter

Steve Allen often comes out with uninformed rubbish about all sorts of things, so having irrational views about cyclists isn't surprising

I do feel, however, that the ombudsman should be involved, and he should be made to make a full apology, give an explanation of how is attitude is wrong and the actual rights and responsibilities involved.
He should also be fined, for his actions, be made to announce what the fine was, along with fines and consequences that others could expect for doing the kind of things that we see every day.

But, no, he'll probably get another broadcasting award.

I wonder how large his audience is at 4am?

While not condoning his words, I doubt he is triggering many psychopaths at that early hour of the day.

He probably gets away with his peevish views purely because he spouts his drivel at a time where hardly anyone notices.

If you feel genuinely aggrieved, airing it on a cycling forum isn't going to achieve much. Have you considered a formal complaint to his bosses, or whatever ombudsman deals with such issues?

Whilst he may be stupid enough to make threats in public, he's probably not stupid enough to actually make good on the threat.

Why his words matter is that depressingly many of his listners will believe that such behaviour is not only OK but their public spirited duty to remove the cycling menace from the roads by making life uncomfortable (or short) for people who ride bicycles. If LBC refuse to rein in their presenters then maybe it is time for the broadcast regulator to review their licence to operate.

Yes, but...

it would be equally disgusting if he drove a Clio - I'm not sure that the choice of car really makes any difference when you're being squashed by it.

As I've said before. Get your cycle pump to the ready. When it happens again. Give his paintwork a lovely new go gofaster stripe.
He'll think twice the next time.

He's in good company with Nick Ferrari who constantly spouts off about the inconvenience caused by cycle lanes - apparently his need to be chauffeured into work from his home in Greenwich trumps everyone else's need for clean air or not getting killed cycling to work.
