It really doesn't look as though it had all that much to do with cycling.

Just one group of chavs scrapping with another.


There is nothing in that report which suggests to me that Mr and Mrs
Brady were louts (my interpretation of your racist term "chavs").

As they cycled by, they may well have felt it their civic duty to
challenge the offensive behaviour apparently displayed by the three
young women.

The pulling of the girl's hair and punching her face by Mrs Brady does
not appear, from the news report, to have been a criminal act, and
therefore self defence.

But I assume much, and cannot know for sure, but I certainly would not
want to label Mr and Mrs Brady as "chavs" (or even louts) on the
evidence from that report.

QUOTE:
Timothy Cray, prosecuting at Birmingham Crown Court, said in the course
of the struggle, when they ended up on the ground, Mrs Brady had grabbed
hold of the teenager’s hair and may have hit her in the face.

The defendant responded by biting the victim’s ring finger on her left
hand with “very great force”.

Fancy retaliating for something as trivial as having your hair grabbed
hold of and a mere blow to the face, eh?

They sound well-matched.
