Wendy Big Mouth Fool Hargreaves is a so called journalist who writes for the Herald Sun Newspaper that is printed in Melbourne. I have read articles by this woman before and many of them are just tripe, some amusing but she always tries to stir shit.
If you look at her twitter account she actually says this.
twitter account Journo and general shit stirrer.
She just had an article printed in the paper and I cannot believe it was allowed for print. Her views are what I would expect from an uneducated Neanderthal, not from a veteran so called reporter.
We are all entitled to our views and that is the beauty of freedom of speech but what she has written is a complete toss.
Here is some of the article.
ARROGANT road hogs, neon nuff nuffs, lycra losers, poncey prats, complete tossers - cycling warriors are all of these things and much, much more.
It's not that I hate them. How could I hate somebody that stupid?
(See what I mean, this lead in is a disgrace)
Only a tried-and-true idiot would willingly prance around in skin-tight lycra with padded bottoms offset by a veranda gut.
(This woman just lets the shit fall out of her mouth and sadly onto paper)
And it gets worse. These mad bike guerillas go beyond moronic by plastering their aforementioned baggy butts with lurid sponsorship logos.
(Nicks save your ass you tart, maybe for you it would save the seat from being gobbled up)
Think about it fellas. You're not Lance Armstrong. You're not even an athlete. You're a dolt.
(Wow, she is an offensive foulmouthed whore. A ‘dolt’, so people using Wilson tennis racquets, the brand Roger Federer uses, they are also dolts. I have seen many tennis players that sucked sporting the whole tennis kits.
The people with Nike Golf clubs because Tiger Woods uses them are also dolts, I suppose Wendy. You are a cretin woman)
You're paying hundreds of bucks to wear sausage-tight advertising, like blobby mobile signage. You may think you look cool in hot pink as you huff and puff to your favourite cafe for a massive pile of bacon and eggs, but you don't. You just look silly.
(I know she is targeting the same people I don’t call cyclists, people who go for a 20klm ride aren’t cyclists. But her rants are plain terrible)
But it's the proudly corpulent middle-aged warriors who need the real spanking. You know who I'm talking about. They sit on their well-fed butts all week, raking in cash to buy their next $10,000 carbon fibre Italian import, then squeeze into hideously tight lycra every weekend for some male bonding on bitumen.
(So fuc#en what! Are you jealous of not being paid a decent wage? I don’t know what the Herald pays you lady, but if you couldn’t afford a 10K bike you are in the wrong job. People, who continually be critical of how others spend their money pisses me off. It is their money, so let them spend it how they want to.)
By mid-morning, they're clomping around in their ridiculous shoes ordering lattes and scoffing brunch.
(These are cleats dear, and they are needed by real cyclists)
I know I run the risk of being mowed down by a pack of cycle warriors for writing this, but somebody has to tell them.
(Couldn’t be so lucky and I would much prefer it to be a bus. Then it would be sure you wouldn’t return to write such tripe)
Anyway if you want to read this article in full you can here and if you Google her name you can also read a lot of other pigheaded articles she has written.
Look I used to get pissed off with the guys who she is actually having a go at. But they do what they do. They go for a peddle, have breakfast, talk shit and go home, usually pretty harmless.
We would ride for a few hours or more on our expensive bikes with running gear that people would fall off their chair if they new the cost of a cog, set of handlebars and so forth. But that was us and we weren’t hurting anyone.
She has opened a can of worms attacking people because of what they wear. Anyone who is a gimp and plays a sport but has all the gear should be labeled a dolt according to Wendy.
This lady has probably never played a sport in her life.
So Wendy, this is my take on your shit. Just my opinion I would love to hear yours on me.

I agree with you Brunty. That lady has a chip on her shoulder. So what if guys dress up to cycle in expensive clothing and then relax and have coffee and cakes. At least they are out in the fresh air. I would have a go at all the silly people that over dress at the Melbourne cup and wear large silly hats and sip champagne.
In Thailand, as you know, they love to dress up for their sports. A farang person I know does a lot of cycling in shorts, singlet and a cap. Thais say he shouldn't dress like that. He should wear proper tight, brightly coloured cycling gear with the proper helmet. That is the way to cycle.
Michael, if she takes the piss out of cyclists then she shoud look at all things, like you said, those stupid hats.
I don't care that a woman wears a hat worth $300 dollars that is her choice.
I have played golf with people who are absolute NAGA's (Not a golfers asshole), they had all the gear, the top shelf stuff but did I care, shit no. Good luck to them and the biggest thing is they were enjoying themselves.
As you said, these cyclists are getting out in the fresh air, going to a place they like, supporting it by spending money there. Helping pay someone's wage. They talk some crap and cycle home.
And all the journo could do was slag off the riding outfits they wore.
I could imagine the Thais looking at the farang thinking this. At the lake Hua Wong Nong the cyclist are in big numers in the afternoon and many have all the gear. I have seen some lovely Trek bikes that cost a small fortune being ridden by older Thai guys at a pedestrian speed of maybe 20klms an hour but they were enjoying.
This woman Michael, 90% of the time writes articles like this as she wants reaction from people, her life must be sad and lonely.
Thanks for commenting mate.
There are too many people telling others what to do - not because it impacts them, just because that's their only joy in life. Kinda sad really.
Then again - writing controversial article is good business. It doesn't really matter whether people come to their site because they've written something interesting or insightful - or merely because they wrote something stupid and offensive. They can show lots of ads to people in either case.
My take is - they don't deserve the traffic.
So I won't follow these links - I'd rather read another article on your blog. I don't always agree with you, obviously (that would be boring, anyway). However at your site I can always count on finding something interesting or entertaining.
Stefan, if we all agreed with each other the world would such a boring place indeed.
Tha's what I love about free speech and people having their voice to express their ideas and then others adding their views and at times people debating about topics.
Like you said, many just want the traffic and why you will find many "sexy Thai girl" "bar girls Thailand' and so forth heading for internet articles.
I am glad you enjoy dropping by and reading the crap I write :)
The "Herald Scum" is a Murdoch rag!
The 'presstitutes' that work for the Zionist scum Rupert are not journalists!
That my friends, sais it all!
