    The trouble with a lot of cyclists is, that they are so damned arrogant. Whether they're riding on the road, pavement or on a footpath, they think everyone has to make way for them.

    I'm talking about the ones that rush around as if there's no tomorrow - who have poor road sense - and seem oblivious to the hazards when they're racing about on pavements.

    A colleague of mine broke his leg colliding with a cyclist who was using the pavement, and I was nearly decapitated by one, walking out of an alley.

    And most don't have a bell - why? I thought that was a lawful requirement also!
