    Does "Fraser" own the piece of road outside his house then?
    No? Then suck it up, cowboy.

    What about the chavs (like you) on bikes (like yours) who abuse those
    very FOOTways (in Edinburgh and elsewhere) and like you, could not care
    less for the safety of the pedestrians you pretend to be concerned about?

    Let's hope that "Fraser" does not get held up in his wheelchair and blocked in by one of these selfish twats in his elderly years, then his "poor me" attitude might radically alter.

    Much more to the present point, let us all hope that nobody in the
    locality is mown down by a chav-cyclist taking advantage of cleared
    FOOTways and showing no concern at all for people on foot.

    Win - win all round, Councillor Scott - don't let a few selfish twats ruin things for the vast majority of FOOTway chav-cyclists.

    There.

    Fixed it for you.

    Now it says what you *really* "think".
