This clearly demonstrates the much greater destructive power of a car
as compared to a bicycle but the motorists who dominate this transport
newsgroup frequently try to make out cycles are as bad.

So a car hitting a wall will cause more damage than a bicycle. I think the
expression is "well, duh!" Please cite where someone has suggested
otherwise.

What people are making out is that some cars are driven badly, some bikes
are ridden badly. It just shows that you can't lump everyone together as a
"class" based on their mode of transport.

There are only 2 classes as far as Doug is concerned.
Himself and everyone else. Everyone else is in a secret cabal against
anything Doug supports.
