Psycholists of the future!
As I walked through a housing estate in Watford late this afternoon, a
group of young cyclists aged about 10 came round a corner on the pavement. One lost control, crashed into me and fell off his bike. Without a word of apology, he remounted his bike, laughed and rode off! I was left with a large bruise on my leg. Derek C |

Oh sorry, I forgot that I was a pedestrian at the time and therefore had no right to be on the pavement when the young cyclists wished to use it! |

Personally I would not refer to them as "cyclists" (though technically they might be) but "kids on bikes". Meds will tell you they will grow out of it and all be driving cars when they grow up. Going by some of the grotty estates in Watford, he is probably right. |

In my day, they would have been indoors studying Latin and practising piano scales. Children should not be outside happily playing. Tsk Tsk. -- Simon Mason |

Wait ten years, be crossing the road and that kid will leave you legless, and no apologies. They will have abandoned their childish toys, and this, apparently, is improvement. |

Yes, I'd have started the thread with "boy racer yobbos in souped up Novas of the future". They actually *kill* people. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wa...1466-27381503/ -- Simon Mason |

Simple. Good. You understand the principle. We do have standards. And a proper cyclist would not have hit his leg as we tend to levitate in a godly manner a foot or two above the ground.
