broken bike.jpgDurham cyclist kicked off bike by motorcyclist
Police have appealed for witnesses after a cyclist was kicked off his bike by a passing motorcyclist in County Durham.
The Northern Echo reports that the incident took place at about 5.15pm on Thursday on the road between the Toronto Lodge pub in Bishop Auckland and Howden-le-Wear.
A police spokesperson said: "It is believed a cyclist in his 50s was knocked off his bike by a man on a red Honda motorbike.
"The motorcyclist is also suspected to have been travelling in convoy with a silver Vauxhall Vectra.
"The victim suffered ankle and arm injuries and was treated by paramedics at the scene."
Inspector Ed Turner added: “Enquiries are ongoing to identify the motorcyclist and driver of the Vectra, but if you have any information that could help our investigation, I would urge you to come forward as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information should call 101, quoting incident reference number 345 of May 22, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555-111.

Well I for one hope the chap recovers - and the perp finds a short cut to their maker. I had thought this piece was about a victim, and yet .. Whatever DC did or didn't do - you (yes all those who have an opinion and want to share it with anybody on this venue) and I don't have the facts, and probably a lot of lies and innuendo thrown in for good measure. I don't want to read commentary which has probably been cut and pasted from the Guardian. Spare me from your righteous indignation - The actions of that particular person has nothing to do with this victim - 'Get it!' I'm surprised Moderators havn't stepped in.
if im on my sv or er5 and i see another biker on a 50cc does this mean im allowed to kick them off for being slower than me and paying less tax.
Was Dominic (the rules only apply to the serfs) Cummings in Co. Durham at the time?

WARNING: For those of a nervous, right wing disposition, the following post contains vile leftist, government-hating politically biased venom.
Hey, come on, let's be fair to good old Dom. Just because he's a lying, pathological, in contempt of parliament sh*t, doesn't mean he's all bad, after all, he's willing to sacrifice his own parents for the cause.
"Asking Boris to sack Cummings is like asking Emu to sack Rod Hull."
albeit as weve covered a number of times in the past couple of months, what the actual law said you could or couldnt do vs what everyone assumed the rules to be were very different
and again people not offering any comment hoping the cyclist recovers quickly,which I certainly hope they do and arent put off cycling as a result, I had a motorcyclist probably 6 inches way from taking my front wheel out the other week, as he overtook me on a roundabout,clearly his essential journey trumped my daily exercise,and it does make you far more nervous when similar situations arise
I think the expression is "hoisted by his own petard"
Funny you should say that:

Hoisted by Castle Barnard?
"Hoist with his own petard" aksherly.

Grant Shapps told Marr: “We’ve never told people specifically where to locate themselves.”
The government’s key message in the weeks between the beginning of the lockdown and 10 May was, as you may recall, “Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.”
Or even
6.—(1) During the emergency period, no person may leave the place where they are living without reasonable excuse.
Does a day out with the family to Barnard Castle count as a reasonable excuse?
Only if your family own a castle.
They just want to be able to print, "Cummings going".
