The article was a mindless tirade to express his disgust as staring at lycra
clad men and women, the annoying clickety-clack of cleats on cafe floors,
how the author felt like a less than equal citizen by not being able to
drive on a road without encountering other legal road users, promoting
honking at cyclists, and finally voicing concern over the thousands of
sheep-mentality cyclists descending on the city on Sunday. The only vaguely
sane point was the concern expressed over riding more than two abreast.

He pretended to make the whole thing reasonable by saying he owned a
bicycle.

Mr Terry Plane (author) and senior writer at The Australian should be given
as much credit as its due.

One big lycra clad brown eye to Mr Plane!

Overall on par with most of the remaining content in 'The City Messenger'
