Well done, those bikers.

But were any of the [motor-]bikers riding bicycles?

Or was the criminal riding one?

Yes, that latter must be the answer. After all, otherwise, the story
would not be relevant in uk.r.c, would it?

The term 'bikers' refers to motorcyclists or cyclists.

In everyday terms? Really? Not so much, I suggest. The usual words for a
cyclist are "cyclist" or one of a number of others which I will not
usually repeat.

Do you say that the bikers mentioned in the report were cyclists on push
bikes?

Did they mention that the bikers mentioned were on motorbikes?

My question was asked first, old chap: do *you* say that the bikers
mentioned in the report were cyclists on push bikes?

Be clear.

There may be a supplementary question or two.

Did m/cyclists steal the SMIDSY acronym from cyclists, or was it vice versa?

The acronym is used by motorcyclists and cyclists in reference to
traffic collisions in which the driver of a car or larger vehicle claims
not to have noticed a two-wheel biker. It is usually derogatory, in that
the claim is often that the driver was not at fault (when he/she
patently was).

'Sorry Mate I Didn't See You'.

First time I've ever seen it. But, I'm not a cyclist.
