man struck by cyclist dies - Page 2

We went past (south bound) at around 8:20. A large group was coming the other way when we got to Mordi. I don't know if it was the Hell Ride group (how can you tell).
After catching our breath, we headed back. We got to Naples Rd around 8:45, where there was an ambulance and a police car or two. We didn't stop, but I would guess that there would've been a dozen or so cyclists stopped there. Much fewer than the large pack we passed at Mordi.
There is a car park, which we were diverted through, and I noticed a camera crew unloading their equipment. Expect a story soon.
As we left, an unmarked police car left the scene, heading city bound. A few minutes later, we caught him, where he had pulled over a small group of cyclists and had the book out taking notes.

Surprise surprise...advertised this morning as coming up on Neil Mitchell today.... "Are cyclists above the law?" Gee, I wonder what his view will be?

"Are cyclists above the law"? Err, let me think about that for a bit......

It may not be a Goat week but for your own sake, please take some medicinal Goat.

Of course. How could I have been so wrong? Thanks for putting me on the path to true enlightenment.

Whatever gets the ratings.

Why his view will be that most cyclists are intelligent rational people
who save the state a good deal of money on health services and are in
the main law abiding and careful.

And that a tiny minority are not.

And that even so this minority do far less personal, property and
enviromental damage that the similiar nomber of nongs in 4WDs. And in
the main show more concern for their own safety.

Becouse Neil is a fair minded intelligent person himself and never uses
rhetoric and emotion in his arguements and becouse he wants to leave the
planet a better place for his presence rather than a worse one he of
couse holds the above views. Any other viewpoint would be utterly
irational How could you even think he could have any other opinion?

I await with intrest your apology for even thinking of sullying the pure
reputation of this great and fair minded social commentator
