I think the Solstice Cyclists should take a little trip to New York...

*The cyclists should always repaint the lanes after sunset on Thursdays so that the religious bigots get maximum annoyance all day Fridays when they are not allowed even to lift the phone to call the police. Lazy bastards.*

@ Neuseline – thanks for that, where do Is end the bill for cleaning the coffee from my shirt and keyboard?

Scantily dressed cyclists made it difficult for the Hasids to obey religious laws; can’t someone help these people out by designing kosher blinkers? It used to work for horses, so why not for religious nuts? And I feel offended when confronted with people who consign anyone to hell who does’t share their form of idiocy! Can’t they be kept off the streets?

Doesn’t it say something in the Bible about gouging or plucking out your eyes rather than sin by ogling what you shouldn’t ogle!! They should do that rather than remove the cycling lines. And what about my religious aversion to seeing these heavy fur hats in summer that turn my stomach when I see them. Should they not be banned also!!!

It’s gone beyond insanity now. Religious nuts seem to be able to get anyone and anything banned if they just cite their “religious beliefs”.

Here’s a clue; if your nutty “religious beliefs” require you to not look at other people then stay indoors or gouge your eyes out. The rest of the world shouldn’t have to suffer because of your chosen lifestyle.

I wonder, Barry, as they always say in Private Eye, whether there might be a photograph somewhere of a religious fundamentalist wearing an objectionable skirt of corduroy material?

A Clothing â€œwarâ€ has broken out in the New York nudist colony of Woodstockville.

Nothing was done last week after devout naturists complained that bizarrely garbed religious extremists were distracting them from respectfully contemplating nature.

According to this report, fundamentalists attracted to the area made it difficult for the nudists to obey ethical principles preventing them from kicking the shit out of sanctimonious assholes who richly deserve it.

The cultists, they said, also disobeyed the rules of style. Fashion police were notified, but no arrests were made.
Furious over the donning of fetishwear, naturism enthusiasts immediately set about disrobing.
