Makes a nice change to see the headline "man fined for cycling", rather
than "cyclist".

Seems like he got it for being lippy, not for riding the bike.


No, it was for breaking the law in proceeding the wrong way in a one way
street. Being lippy isn't an offence.

Mind you, if he gave the CSO the same sort of mouthful that a cyclist*
would give any ordinary member of the public, he was lucky not to be up
on am "insulting words or behaviour" as well.


[* If you don't like "cyclist", I suggest you stop using "motorist". The
correct term is "driver" - or "rider" where the vehicle is a motorbike.]
