If Cheerfull, Pounder and Nugent claim that gropers, kiddie fiddlers,
drug dealers or burglars are *cycling* during the course of these
activities you can have Denmark (or any other country).

I think you are being too generous. If a cyclist was within 50 000 000 miles of wrongdoing it was the fault of all cyclists everywhere. I use that figure because when mankind establishes a colony on Mars and something goes wrong Pounder will blame it on a cyclist.

Don't be distracted: It's not the rule-breaking, it's the potential for
serious injury or death to others that's important.

Reverse that; send Pounder to a place where he can feel safe.
