You ever been skelped by a belt on your bike?

Your cycling along and this ruffian justs kabooms you with a big belt.
The poor wee guy on the bike got it right on his chest, and fell
backwards, clutching his chest.

Look out for that kind of activity.

You really do post some bizarre things. Do you live in Baghdad or
somewhere? If cycling is as bad where you live as you often make out,
you really should consider moving.

Look out for that kind of activity.

Thanks, but there really is no need.

I wouldn't be suprised to see it happen in several parts of the UK.

Ah yes, that's the answer, don't try to tackle the probem that the streets
are full of rather violent scum, no, that's too much effort - move away
from them and send the signal that violence works.

Why should he be forced to move? Why not try to actually fix the problem
instead? It's hardly suprising that kids (and adults) go around
terrorising the neighbours in this country when the best solution we can
come up with is "sod it, let them win".

Chris, go through David Chase's past messages. I also truly believe he
should move somewhere alse and give up cycling. His life would be far more
pleasant.

When I read the original post I checked the header to see which groups
it was cross-posted to, then I realised who the poster was and it all
made sense. Does he spend all his time thinking of the most dreadful
things that could ever happen to a cyclist?

"I was riding along the Hampshire coast and there was an earthquake
and I could have been *killed*, so don't ride a bike just in case."

I imagine its actually quite difficult if not impossible to do that with
a belt from a moving car. No room to swing it plus the differential
velocity makes it very difficult to hit the front of someone with a
swung belt.

I'm pretty sure the fictional assault referred to was done by a
pedestrian. But you can't be sure.

Have you read David's previous posts? It seems that every single thing
that could possibly happen to someone has happened to him. It's got to
the point where it's really not believable any more. At the very least
he needs to change his routes - most of these assaults or advances seem
to keep happening in the same place.

please don't encourage him to move.... he might end up on one of "our"
streets!
