They say "no news is good news" but any news is bad news when it comes to cyclists and therefore any event can be referred to in terms of cycling disruption.
Take recent "fall on your knees and rejoice" news that a road had re-opened. Brother Colin was straight in there with "good news for cyclists - very popular with them". This is an excellent invitation for further opinions such as "Oh no, they will be riding 5 abreast up there I bet" (Rule 15 / Rule 4), or "I wish they would pay road tax" (Rule 10) in a scenario that would have otherwise passed without comment.

Rule 20: Picture that
No social media post would be the same without embellishing it with pictures to make your point. When it comes to ridiculing the lycra there is no depths that you cannot sink to. Want to liken cyclists to one of the most famous child abusers of all time? No problem, upload at your leisure as we can see from this fine example posted in the CCB.
Other examples of the work on the CCB is to post overweight people writhing around in lycra for the pure purpose of our own amusement.

Rule 19: Motorcycle Emptiness
A point of clarification that not all two wheeled users are the same and we should distinguish between cyclists and motorcyclists. It is confusing we admit; the same number of wheels, lyrca and leather have a similar sound but there are some notable differences.
- Motorcycles can go quite fast so are unlikely to hinder our very important journeys in our cars
- The users of motorcycles are bigger then their lycra-clad cousins and therefore more likely to defend themselves when using Rule 16 or 17
