Cyclist ploughs into 5 year old
happily no serious injuries, this time. Would Phil Lee agree this was
attempted murder? http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Camb...1004060500.htm |

They could always smash the cyclist in the face with a D lock, which has been recommended as a suitable form of defence on here, I believe. |

Or attack him with a sharpened screwdriver, that's also been put forward as a valid strategy. |

Naturally, if taken to court the charge would be dropped just like the two recent cases of drivers killing cyclists. "Rebecca Chicot, 40, of Brunswick Terrace, fears a child could be killed after her daughter Iris, 5, was "ploughed into" by the rider." Strange that. It's always *might* or *could* be. How many children *actually* get killed after being "ploughed into" by drivers? |

I'm discussing an aspect of cycling, which is totally on topic. We are not compelled to just say nice things about cycling - it's only the moderated group that suffers from censorship. |
