LOL, I was going to comment about sheep not being as soft and cuddly as city slickers would think.

Cuddled many sheep? (sorry I had to! )

I particularly liked the bit:

"And anti-social cyclists flouting the law will get a £30 fine - and free bike lessons or new lights."

I wonder who is providing the "free" bike lessons...

Can't remember his name, but he's got designer stubble, ginger hair and rides a road bike. Lives off Garlic Street......

You just know it needs a reply, so far it one pro-motorist reply and about 20 pro-cyclist replies

According to my wife I've always been anti-social. Are the police going to crack down on me then?

Sounds like Cab or Crankarm.

I'm flattered you think that I could be mistaken for young and slim.

As a result of the terrible 'bike rage' the Police are having a clamp down on cyclists. But this is the best (only?) example they can find to show just how bad bike rage is?

Welcome to Cambridge. Simultaneously the best and the worst city to cycle in the UK.

My comment hasn't been posted . But that was probably 'cos it was critical of the newspaper. Most of the comments reflect the postings here and question the information about the original incident. Do you think it might prompt the police to go back and talk to the driver again about what reeeaaalllllyyy happened?

No. This is Cambridgeshire constabulary; you can turn up with video evidence like this and you STILL struggle to get them interested:

The reality is that the police here do not prioritise anything of benefit to cyclists.

That overtake made me feel ill! He got closer and closer to the kerb and I notice that he then moved away from the kerb once he was past you! Disgusting behaviour! Glad you're OK!

20 pro cyclist comments? I can only see 11 comments in total.

So you are ginger then?
