So let me get this straight, it’s okay to go for a trip to the beach if you can drive there (and are presumably more affluent if you can afford a car), but not if you are (in all likelihood) poorer and have to travel by train? This post is literally directly after a post from a day at the beach the previous day!

Please direct your ire towards the fuckwit politicians and general public who think bikes should get the fuck out of their way]
