What does any of that have to do with the OP, or even with cycling?

Well, **** off to a motoring group then, you thick ****.

The intellectual reply of a man with four law degrees.

Ha ha ha ha!

No.

Petulant, infantile response.

The psychopath comes onto a cycling newsgroup when he's not a cyclist,
posts anti-cycling trolls, and then complains that people point out that
the real menace is the psychopath.

*rofl*

Perhaps m'learned learned learned learned friend (he has four law
degrees, don'tcha know?) can prove that I'm not a cyclist.

I will straightaway admit and proclaim that I am not one of those
sociopathic cyclists who regard everbody else's rights as non-existent.

Really? Wow! That's amazing! Where did he say that, then?

One can't prove a negative, you thick ****.

An oxymoron. No, I'm not talking about you - the prefix 'oxy' was in
there.

I don't understand this bit: did the cyclist not stop and provide their details
to the lady?

Sorry about this - but what on earth makes you say that he has four law
degrees? I hope you have not made that up in order to belittle him.

Apparently there is no requirement for the cyclist to stop, nor to
provide his details.

That's what Smith said. And he speaks Latin.

It must be true, he said so.

I wonder why he hasn’t written to Cleveland Police, Middlesbrough and
Stockton councils & Highways England yet?
