    Bicycle couriers are insane and have the blessing of the gods.

    Give way, ye mortals, and gaze upon the noble visage of madness as they pass.

    Seek not to understand.

    Yup. Correct.

    Probably not.
    He/she will claim ACC if the medical expenses you're alluding to are the medical expenses I *think* you're alluding to.

    Nope, I don't think I made any assertion about the moral justification of his course of action.

    Personally, I don't care if they starve to death, or their low-tech single speed beaters crumple beneath them.

    However I do grow weary of ignorance, jealously, poorly constructed arguments, and jumping-on-of-bandwagons.

    The expenses I was imagining, would be those incurred when they turn in front of a vehicle and misjudge their timing.
    You were thinking about...?

    I think you mean 'jealousy', 'poorly-constructed', and 'the jumping-on-of-bandwagons'.

    Just in case the execrable grammar wasn't intentional.

    Cos, you know, I'm all about the details.

    And feeling the love. I'm all about that, too. Can you feel the love?

    I used to have reasonable spelling until my last head injury.
    Something had to give huh?

    Oh, yes I can feel the love, thank you very much.
    Try not to get it in my eye next time; it stings.

    yeah, sounds as bad as the motorbikers I see riding between the lanes on the motorway up here. I don't know why, arrogance maybe/ I think I'll open my car door on the fucken cunts. Hopefully they will fall off and someone will runem over.

    If the cyclist is a member of a cycle club he should automatically have liability insurance. It would be a bit ironic charging him and taking his licence off him cos he could still ride a pushbike!
