Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Wow, love the last line about her firm sponsoring a local cycle challenge!

Should get her to do community service for a year helping the club and having to ride a push bike

It's all been blown 'way out of precaution' apparently. Didn't even feel his bike hitting her car....apart from when the handlebar hit her mirror.

And suddenly she's a cyclist herself! Solidarity.

Great one isn't it? She's even thicker than I expected.

Gotta give it to the wiley solicitor: 'Listen, are there any pushbikes in your dad's garage that you could ride?'

'Er, yeah I think so.'

'Officers, in actual fact my client herself is a cyclist and so was completely dismayed to discover that she had knocked this young man off his bike...

"And then boasted about it on Twitter. Under the misapprehension that if someone 'doesn't pay road tax', you have right of Emma Way and are therefore legally entitled to run them off the road as you see fit."

OK, makes sense, didn't read the description, just the 'lowside' title. Guy's a price muppet then. That speed and lean angle alone wasn't going to cause a lowside on dry tarmac.

She's managed to get on all our local TV news bulletins, the poor little dear!

According to her its been blown out of all proportion!

Scary that she thinks she's got the right of way, her employers have suspended her & Police are investigating.

To Tweet or not to Tweet, that is the question
