Fudbeer Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Wow get over yourselves whats half an hour out of your life? every one moans that england never does any good at sport but is no one prepared to encourage it? Walk it would have done you some good or maybe even use it as inspiration to get a bike and ride. When this traffic jam was goin on i rode past it all on my bike laughing at all the daft red faced people stuck in their cars. I cant belive how negative everyone is about this race its both ridiculous and disgusting. Why not next year instead of sitting in your cars why dont you go watch the finish and cheer on the riders? Well said. The right of people to drive around in there cars without delays must always come before any event no matter how much enjoyment it brings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cath Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 It took a little longer to drive home last night but nothing much. I don't have a problem with events such as this coming to Sheffield and causing me minor inconvenience. It's one day a year, unlike the city council who go out of their way to inconvenience me every day of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Twinkle* Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Your manager's not bright enough to go via Crookes and Hillsborough? I guess he didnt realise until it was too late! I was diverted at lunchtime (1.30pm) and that was the first I'd heard of it, having not been into the city for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudbeer Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 The Tour De France is starting in London next year just as well its not coming to Sheffield, people could really get delayed on there way home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john t Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 It's 1 day a year..and there was loads of signs up telling people that the tour was coming here,and to expect delays.!! We definatly can't close the roads to the car can we..unless of course some "football "team decide to close the town centre down when they get promoted..But hey..it's only 1 day in the year. To all you people who where sat in your car..i say..get get of it and go and watch real athletes at work.Not jumped up premadonna's. If more people cycled the abesaty(spelt wrong) would disappear and the hospitals would be less full..less time in the doctors..you would feel loads better...next time you want a rant at pro cycling..give it a try to see how hard it is.. jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
