Another OAP mown down by a cyclist on the pavement
Broken pelvis, which effectively means the end of her active life, and often
leads to death. The cyclist slunk off without giving his details. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/new...nsioner_s_hip/ |

This type of shoddy journalism will only allow all the bigots to tar all.. ENDQUOTE You couldn't make it up, could you? "Bigots tar[ring] all" apparently means calling for cyclists to be responsible citizens, make a bit of a start on obeying the law and stop threatening the lives of pedestrians, particularly the more vulnerable of us. Fat chance. |

The cyclist in this case is a moron, a ****witted moron and should be made to pay for his crime and for his victims rehabilitation. On a secondary note, and perhaps it's labouring a point, but maybe there should be laws against cycling on the path .. oh, there are. TBH you keep posting these when every day I could post far more of the times when drivers run down cyclists on the roads. I refrain from doing so because it adds nothing to the argument. -- Paul - xxx |

Fat chance. I'm not going to accuse you of early imbibing. I think that you tied one on last night, and now you are regretting it a bit. I don't believe in the hair of the dog, but walking it might help. |

Can you post any incidents of motorists deliberately driving on the pavement and mowing down cyclists? |
