Scraping the barrel today, Cheerless?

2/3 of the story was about the chaos drivers were causing on the M62 -
the cyclist came and went without incident.

"Drivers also faced hold-ups on the motorway’s eastbound carriageway
late yesterday, after an accident involving a lorry and a car.
The vehicles blocked the nearside lane approaching the slip road at
Junction 26 (Chain Bar) but no-one was hurt.
Traffic queues built up for several miles before the vehicles were
removed. It was the second day in a row that a serious accident
brought M62 chaos. On Tuesday, four fire crews were called to deal
with a five-vehicle pile-up which left one driver badly hurt."


....and that meant that it was completely justified to ride a push bike on a
motorway, didn't it?
