    1. I’d get rid of both. Something worthy of discussion perhaps especially in rural areas like our lovely Devon. Club/group rides on narrow A/B roads can cause frustration/friction to other road users. Two roads I use regularly are the Teign Valley B3193 and the road up to Moretonhampsted A382. Quite often a string of riders are spread over a few hundred metres which makes overtaking nigh on impossible. We are there legally within our rights but could groups pull in to let traffic flow?

    2. There is lots of violence in cycling on the streets but I think the pro "fights" are just comical. The drugs affect the pro sports more because they raise the bar to a level where you have to take drugs to compete since everyone is taking them who is top 10.

    3. I am on the fence on this one. All the effort of risks you put into your career. Most pros do not earn that much and its a big step up when on the podium, sponsors etc. To be robbed by a cheater. That's perhaps worse than an average fall, and all riders take falls in their careers. I wonder how the governing bodies view drugs vs violence – in terms which would get the bigger punishment. I ride a lot but do no follow cycling as a sport so much.. I do all recall Shoey in f1 when he took Mansell out.

    4. Simply no to drugs & violence. Having experienced the 90s as a Pro – say no to doping. And say no to violence being humanistic and trying to be a good human being. This is a topic having so much different levels, let‘s make it Not too simple – besides the simple answer NO to both. Cheers mate

    5. Agree Dave with you.. no way should these tactics be used in cycling.. drugs is bad but violence no way has a place in cycling in my opinion 👍👍🚴🏻pete

    6. Definitely on the fence with this. I've raced in crits where there are some super aggressive competitors, and I am not sure I would class it as violence but I would call it overly enthusiastic. What's more, if you are touching/nudging in the race, it really doesn't take much for it to all go horribly wrong.

      I guess deliberate dangerous moves don't have a place, the doping side of things is fascinating though.

    7. interesting question, i would say that drugs do damage to the individual rider and to the reputation of the sport whereas aggressive riding / violence does damage to other people. i dont like the outcomes of either one but people have to be allowed to make decisions for themselves

    8. Only thing is doping you can end careers as if you are a GC rider you could never compete and could lose millions of pounds in potential revenue. But violence could really endanger life. Look at Jakobson a few years back. I will be safe and say both are bad.

      BTW you should be arrested for butchering Pantanis pronunciation 😂
