Don't ride into journalists



"This is why people don't like cyclists. If a driver had driven their car
into someone, they would lose their licence. And if they didn't stop, anyone
who saw what happened would be able to make a note of their car
registration.
When a cyclist hits someone they don't have to stop. And if they get
challenged they stick their middle finger up and ride away."
