Police have issued an appeal after gangs of cyclists descended on one of
Birmingham’s busiest road, terrorising motorists.

Perhaps somebody needs to work out what the addition of a petrol engine
does to a bicycle.

How dare cyclists exercise their right to use roads.
I'm sure motorists were terrified at the prospect of having to wait for a cyclist.

'They were riding in front of moving vehicles'.
Translated 'A cyclist is preventing me exercising my right to drive 10%+2mph+10%+2mp+10mph above the speed limit, there ought to be a law against it.'

Do the rights of cyclists on the roads extend to a right to commit
criminal damage to vehicles driven by lone females (again)?

If so, when was that law passed?

It is good to see that some part of your therapy is working.
Glad to see you now accept it is proper protocol to only cite the relevant part of a post rather than subjecting the reader to pages and pages of indentations and irrelevancies.
Of course the big question is are you prepared to admit you were wrong?

Oddly enough, I did not excise anything at all.

That's just your imagination at work, again.

It had already been given a fair work-out when you imagined that "a
group of youngsters on push bikes surrounded the victim's vehicle when
she realised her tyre had been slashed” was an account of their
"exercis[ing] their right to use roads".

So the therapy did not work after all.
You are back to citing the entire thread because you are not mature enough to admit you were wrong.

I was not wrong in pointing out (in terms) that assault and criminal
damage do not fall into any sane person's definition of "using the
road". Not even use by a cyclist.

But of course, they do fall into *your* definition of it, as we can see
from your contribution above (which has not been snipped so that you
can't deny it).
