Ski Lift Public Transportation
|

OT:USA Cyclist ignores signs and sense and dies.
|

"As he descended the ramp near the end of the overpass, he fell from his bicycle and struck his head on a metal hand railing," wrote B.C. Coroner Lisa Graham. "He was not wearing a helmet at the time of this incident and... more »

Justipoo's is wriggling again....
...
So, a known cyclist, posting on a cycling group uses the exact phrase "I rode and drove back and forth several times".
Now, since this cyclist also claims to be a teacher of English & an all round expert, we must assume the use of both terms "rode" and "drove"... more »

Panhandlers Asking Cyclists for Money for Fuel
|
| |
Does this happen often in the UK?
