THAT Facebook page, about rego...

A parody page is up - pretty funny stuff.

That page is classic. My sarcasm detector is going nuts. So funny, but so true.

I was banned from posting for a couple of weeks but I am now unbanned. It might be that FB only allows a certain number of people to be banned per page. Anyway, the majority of the interlocutors on the page have very poor grammar and think abuse is arguing. It really is depressing that there are such ignorant people driving on the roads.

I would suggest that if anyone wishes to post there they do not get sucked in to posting personal abuse but argue in a calm and rational manner. The chances of rego for bikes happening is nil.

That's a brilliant page! I was reading it the other day and spotted immediately that it is a cycling advocate page. I wonder if all the "likers" realise that?

Or don't even bother.

It isn't an argument if your arguing with a brick wall.

Yes in my experience, social media is not the place to have a rational debate. And commenting on that Facebook page is a bit like walking into a bikie club wearing a temperance union t-shirt

I'd actually request that nobody post there, at all. Let them enjoy patting each other on the back and keep them under their rock.

Facebook effectively works like this: the more you post on a page, the more your friends see that you're posting. So every time you type, you expand their reach.

Starve them of attention and they'll fade into the irrelevance they all so richly deserve.

After all, if they were really as popular as they thought, they wouldn't have had a like farming group add 8k likes literally overnight. More than a little amusing that their demographic reads as predominantly 18-24yr olds from Istanbul...

I walked into a seedy pub in country Western Australia wearing full "lycra". I got some odd looks but no trouble. Not a lot of cyclists around those parts.

I was thinking more along the lines of going in there and trying to convince them that they should give up alcohol

But I went to a motorbike show behind the local pub a couple of years ago. I was wearing a t-shirt with a picture of a push bike and the words 'Zero Emissions'. All these hairy bikers there and it took a lady selling raffle tickets to say "you're game wearing that here".

Well you can post, and then hide your comment or post from your feed. And thats probably a smart thing to do for that reason.


That click farm thing is hilarious.

If you look at the owners personal FB page, his name is Jai Christensen, you will see no evidence of cycling likes and lots of redneck likes.

Are you sure you're looking at the satirical page?

Johnny there are two different pages, a satire one and Jai Christensen's one. Big difference between the two.

I was referring to the satire one... which I found very amusing. I haven't seen the "other one" so I can't comment on that.
