Shane Warne in anti-cyclist Twitter rant - but Melbourne cyclist says cricketer drove into him

Hurley got onto Twitter also " Supporting her man"! They deserve each other ! Wonder how long they will last after liz is granted citizenship ?
Bridie was too kind to the " role model " and that " devine character " must be seeking headlines again ? Remember when Cadel returned to Melbourne after the TDF ? Guess who jumped onto the front page , don't all rush !
Suggested in my blog that Warnie pay up and give a few of his " free tickets" to the cyclist and his lady before he meets the magistrate ! Perhaps " his honor " will get a few incentives to be forgiving towards this cricketing retiree ?

Every pot finds its lid, as they say. I think those two halfwits deserve each other.

That Bridie article is great, I think Hurley & Warne should have to commute on a bike for the rest of their natural born lives!

Shane Warne - nasty piece of work! He's shown his true colours just like Clarkson has -and hes a tw@t.

Warne is just one more tool with an over blown sense of self importance. He lost the plot, then got on to Twitter after the event so as to get on the PR front foot. Good on the cyclist for not putting up with that crap.

You'd think a sportsman would have a common bond with cyclists. Ah, just noticed my mistake, there. Carry on.

Great article that Simon - puts a lot into perspective. I particularly liked this bit:

It’s important to remember that while Warne made a career out of being a spin bowler, he was far more famous for his sledging, his hair, his recidivist womanising, and poor nutritional choices. He can be proud of his contribution to cricket’s image as a sport of overweight, overpaid blokes who drink a lot.

Has James Martin had a sex change?

This woman needs to calm down a bit - she makes Jeremy Clarkson sound like a spokesman for the CTC

"Motorists are sick of the silent two-wheeled menaces on our road. We are sick of the way they weave through traffic, run red lights, come out of nowhere and ignore road rules to suit themselves.

We are sick of the empty bike lanes that make already clogged roads impassable and the fact the bicycle lobby’s power is disproportionate to their numbers. We are sick of their sense of entitlement and increasing aggression.

We are sick of the dangerous fiction that the road is there to share. In fact, the road is there for cars. Bicycles are there only under sufferance."

I used to commute and train in Melbourne for 8 years. I'm afraid London is comparatively easy and safe.

People do 50mph on the wide open suburban streets, there's tram tracks and there is a certain type of Australian male who would rather die than be seen to concede a point. My Warne, unsurprisingly, is one of those.

I had something similar to this happen to me, back wheel buckled by someone who just decided they didn't like me (while stopped, luckily). Mostly just ignored by a certain type of driver. I learnt some of my more aggressive anti-traffic tactics there, since moderated in London. My wife says that when I get angry I sound more Australian than Kiwi

However there are hunders of k of fantastic independent if kinda windy bike lanes in Melbourne that follow streams and I ended up using most of the time, and it is a great city. The lanes however end on the edge of the CBD and all other busy areas.

This is just the sort of 'biffo' that only makes the two sides polarise even more. Obvious which side I am on!

If Liz Hurley has any more lifts she'll have a beard. Says it all about her judgement in men or what she says on Twitter supporting said aggressive twits.

Cricket,says it all the man mannequin is a complete f--k wit,also looks like a big girls blouse too no doubt he will be playing f--king golf next.Like i say girls blouse.

I'm stumped as to why we've veered away from the silly cricket analogies. I was enjoying them more than being reminded of the very existence of that dreadful couple. Glad they're on the other side of the planet although it's still not far enough.

Shane Warne and Liz Hurley are twats! Made for each other!!

Liz who???? Jumped up, stuck up bitch

I remember giving Warney loads of abuse when he was playing against England at The Oval..Glad to know he deserved it

I hope Liz Hurley gets shot in the face! Calm down, just joking.

Exactly same thing happened to me, but it was not famous cricketer. The guy ended up paying for repairs on the bike.

His Twitter description says he has 'found calm in my life'... really?

Nice piece on it here: http://www.bridie.com.au/component/content/article/53-warnie-not-the-rol...

Think he needs to cut down on the hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride.

I see from Liz Hurley's twitter feed that she has a rage (sic) of organic snacks.

One of them is beef jerky. Appropriate.

What is Liz hurley talking about?

She's wrong on two counts.
First: There's no danger of getting muscular thighs riding a boris bike.
Second: muscular thighs are frikkin sexy.

Crazy woman.

Silly stretched-face fool, doesn't he realise that cycling into a stiff headwind can give you the same results as plastic surgery, and it's cheaper.

Peace & love Warney, get yourself a bike mate.

Hurley & Warne have both clearly shown why their PR machines make such great efforts to stop them using twitter.

They as a fallible as you or I in losing the plot and saying the most stupid things - problem is that when they do so , it will run & run.

Hurley definitely gone down in my estimation of her commonsense, and as for the attempt to recover the situation by PR that really hit a nadir in poor spin.

Shane Warne = Kn£b. Who would have guessed. Maybe the hair implants have dug through his scalp to his brain. No, sorry that's ridiculous, hair roots surely couldn't grow that long?

Sounds like Shane has been at his Mum's pills again !

I'd like to see Warne try that stunt on Bernard Hinault!
