Wordsmith Ian O' Doherty vividly describes an encounter with one of those awful people who ride pedal cycles.

A Pulitzer Prize surely awaits!

To be fair, it wasn't that bad, more so a observation of people than cyclists.

I think thats the worste story I've ever read.

Stopped reading after that sentence:

I know perfectly reasonable people who seem to feel that once they have put on their Helmet of Moral Superiority

Interesting and informative at the same time. Ian is definitely one to watch.

Eh, it's my Helm of Moral Superiority. And coupled with my Hammer (mini-pump) of righteousness, it gives me +5 sexterity and a bonus for taking out RLJ-ers.

I like the picture. Really shows how cyclists are causing congestion and getting in the way of proper road users.

Did he pay Road Tax? Only a matter of time before some tool puts that in the comments section.....

Read it quickly, didn't understand what his point was, forgot about it.

Ian doesn't drive or cycle, so I don't really care too much for his opinion on either.

Don't particularly care for O'Doherty's opinion on anything. In fairness, that's probably the least annoying of his articles I've ever read.

I see your point, it was a bit meh.

He seems to be saying that headphones kill, I suspect he associates with the wrong headphones.

Especially Beats by Dre. They kills cops, bitches and hos. *

"I was coming down the quays when a cyclist cut across the lane and slammed straight into the bonnet of the taxi.
It was a sucker move for the guy to make – this wasn't even a near miss, there was just no way he was ever going to make the gap."
.....and somehow he manages to tie the headphones into this mishap:D

It was just a small piece on an accident that happened, nothing major really. Don't see anything awful about it.

I did like his Sand People comment too, mainly cos it's true!
