Flaunting the law

I am suggesting that the "need" to discuss the matter as a cycling topic is in itself a result of media bias.

I'm just very happy to see a group of kids out riding their bikes. I didn't think that was a thing these days, and that most teens sat about texting, gaming, watching TV or worse.

A group of unlit wheelying teenagers were coming towards me five abreast on CS1 the other week: I first misidentified them as a chain gang on penny farthings

The ordinary.....

The only bicycle where you cannot reply "the chain looks a bit slack"!

I suppose that depends on what you consider to be the matter under discussion. Is it the behaviour of the cyclists and the driver, the reporting of that behaviour, the criticism of that reporting, or the polemic that develops from that criticism? For me it's the last two, so the behaviour of the cyclists is far enough removed from the discussion to be actually pretty insignificant.
