I hope the cops get that low life mongrel and jump on him/her with hobnailed boots.
Glad to read she came through without any major injuries.

Given we are many pages into this thread, might be time to revisit Mikes comments in the OP:

Re: Cycle Chic
There's chic, and then there's chick. I'll leave it up to you what you think the focus of this thread is.
Mandatory helmet law?

A lot of people might say "whack job"...but all I got out of that video was someone who loved cycling and loved doing what he does..regardless of others
in a way I envy him...maybe not all the way, but in a little way
refreshing vid il padrone...thanks
