And none so desperate to believe that the bicycle is more important to the story than the person's clothes. (Unless you know more about it than disclosed in the report. Do share it with us.) Was/is he a cyclist? Not relevant to circumstances. Are you saying that describing a wanted violent criminal is not the right thing to do? Alternatively, are you claiming that referring to the criminal's use of a distinctively minority means of transport (as a firther identifying factor) is somehow not proper? Do spill the beans as to how you "think" on these matters. I asked you to provide more information. Obviously you have none. Very obviously I have no more information. All any of us (here) know is that a woman was robbed by a cyclist and that the police want to catch him. Do you want him to escape or something? |

Your question is also irrelevant; you should put it to a law and order group. Very obviously I have no more information. Then you agree that the bicycle is nothing more than an aid to identification. Isn't that what I said? You did. Only incidental to insisting that a mugging has some relevance to a cycling group. |

The description was given in a newspaper and on its website. There was a clue in the story as written (you have chosen to excise the link). Very obviously I have no more information.

So when are you going to intervene in Mason's posts about motoring offences? |

So when are you going to intervene in Mason's posts about motoring offences? Offences committed by motorists are often relevant. After all, cyclists have to put up with their incompetence. Besides, when stupid people insist that a mugging is cycling related, it is easy to tolerate "motorist" matters getting thrown back in their face. SM's posts are fine by me. |

So when are you going to intervene in Mason's posts about motoring offences? Offences committed by motorists are often relevant. After all, cyclists have to put up with their incompetence. Everyone, pedestrians and licensed roar-users alike, feels the effects of the incompetence, criminality and sometimes malice of cyclists. See the post yesterday about pedestrian crossing lights. Think back to some of the cases reported recently in the media. But you are excelling yourself here - being a violent street robber is a marker of competence on the part of a cyclist, is it? Besides, when stupid people insist that a mugging is cycling related, it is easy to tolerate "motorist" matters getting thrown back in their face. SM's posts are fine by me. Offences committed by cyclists are always relevant. After all, it is a minority means of transport and therefore an aid to identification. |
