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.

Which estate was it?

Personally I would not refer to them as "cyclists" (though
technically they might be) but "kids on bikes".

Cyclists are incapable of wrong, so any cyclist doing something
wrong isn't a cyclist.

Has Doug started posting as JNugent? Or has JNugent transported into
DougWorld?

I was paraphrasing your "argument".

Check out Karl Popper and black swans.

How *dare* you complain!

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!
You do seem to be incident prone.

They were told by their non-cycling parents to ride on the pavement.
