Did they mention that the bikers mentioned were on motorbikes? My question was asked first, old chap: do *you* say that the bikers mentioned in the report were cyclists on push bikes? Be clear. There may be a supplementary question or two. Â* Â* No mention of cyclists nor motorcyclists. What would you recognise the name "Oxleathers M.C.C." as meaning? Do you say that it is, or might be, a push-bike riders' club? Mens Cycling Club? -- Bod |

Wot does SMIDSY meen? The acronym is used by motorcyclists and cyclists in reference to traffic collisions in which the driver of a car or larger vehicle claims not to have noticed a two-wheel biker. It is usually derogatory, in that the claim is often that the driver was not at fault (when he/she patently was). 'Sorry Mate I Didn't See You'. -- Bod |

Why not just admit that the people who made the citizen's arrest are motor-cyclists? |

I've had many instance myself when cycling, from cars just pulling out of side roads and obviously totally oblivious to my presence. -- Bod |

I understand that your gay community would like cyclists to wear rainbow colours, but pink has been proven to not be a very effective colour compared to the tried and tested colours already available. -- Bod |
