Re: @Commswonk
Again, this is not a license for cyclists to behave like dickheads, and nor is it a license for pedestrians to "swing a big stick" or push it in their spokes (that last one @x 7).
If cyclists are free to use a potentially lethal weapon, why the fuck shouldn't pedestrians be allowed to hit back with arguably a more feeble weapon? Why should lycra-clad lunatics be free to terrorise with impunity?
