A newspaper is a newspaper, some better than others and some not as good! Its the story i was getting at anyway not the bloody paper.

Care to expand on the headline??

Being the sun it could be anything form a Cyclist being beaten senseless to lycra clad fish fryer down the local chippy

Sorry OFF! It says A driver (ALLEGEDLY) battered a cyclist with a hammer 15 times for pedalling too slowly. The motorist could not pass the rider aged 60,as he wobbled up a hill against a strong wind! Police (ALLEGE) he nudged the cyclist with his vauxhall Nova then took a hammer from the boot to hit him about the head and body. The victim was taken to hospital but was not seriously hurt, was in fine spirits. It was a young lad (20) hence the Nova! Been charged and released on bail.

God that could me me I'll take a hammer with me the next time I go out
I'm very glad he's not too badly hurt

Road.cc had a link to that story in a local paper - the focus of that report seemed to be on the cyclist not wearing a helmet.

Hope that clarifies your query.

What's the country coming to?

Some parts of society have little regard for people or property, sad but true. Unfortunately it would appear cyclists are fair game on the road. I've twice had passengers lean out of passing vehicles attempting, or so it seemed, to push me from my road bike. On neither occasion was I impeding the traffic. Hopefully the purpetrator will be suitably punished, however it'll probably not be as severe as most would like.
