If I rewind the scene in my mind's eye, I have the jay walking pedestrian, supposedly avoiding the cyclist, materialising having just walked through the truck. If I wind it forward a little, I have the cyclist resting one foot on the ground just behind the stop line. The cyclist in the picture is described as a "lycra law-breaker", but he appears to be wearing black jeans and a white cotton t-shirt. |

Caption to the photograph: "A a woman evades a cyclist breaking the red light at College Green, Dublin". Sub-headline to the (whole) article: "THE heatwave appears to have turned the growing army of cyclists on our streets into lycra law-breakers". Come on, this isn't difficult. |

Mr Reilly spent 20 minutes observing cyclists. He describes them in the article, and just one he describes as being clad in lycra: a greybeard, a young man in a Manchester United top, a middle-aged man and a pretty girl of Asian extraction, a Joni Mitchell lookalike, a lycra clad, Oakley-sunglasses wearing speed king, a cool-looking male student with a trilby, a beefy Italian-looking chap. |

Why are you trying to evade the subject, is it embarassing to you? |
