    Couldn't have been a cyclist. He would have been on a Felt if he was;) he wouldn't have been caught

    Helmet, gloves & slippery lycra - and now a mask. Perfect outfit to rob a shop.

    A cyclist will be along soon to tell us that motorists do it too.

    Most armed robberies are done by pedestrians.

    Motorists specialise in drive by shootings.

    Julius Caesar was murdered by a gang of pedestrians. This stuff goes way back.

    a colleague of my dad's was a bank manager in a dublin city centre bank branch. one day, they had an armed robbery, no different from yer average (my dad and his mates have quite a few stories about armed robberies), except when the main man ran out into the street with the bag'o'cash, the getaway driver had timed his arrival a little too close and hastily and knocked him down.
    the driver panicked and drove off leaving the chap with the cash lying injured in the street.

    Bloody joggers, running around robbing banks and jumping in front of honest hard working motorists.

    All we need now, is somebody to report a swimmer robbing a bank, and hey, we have a triathlon.

    A lot of the triathlon / adventure races around here use canoes instead of swimming ..... do you think its doable.

    I'm surprised nobody has popped in to say it wasn't a cyclist, just an armed robber on a bike :D

    Except for the crimes of reporting a crime - those bastards should be locked up.
