They should be paying rego & 3rd party fees
anyway, assuming they will be injured on the
roads. Why should these candy-coloured
pests be any different from other road users?
Were all the 20 cyclists in the bike lane?
Not bloody likely. Indeed they often ride
two abreast, overflowing the bike lane, to
talk to each other.
The incident probably went like this:
1/ Some of the 20 cyclists overflowed the
bike lane, so causing obstruction to
motorists.
2/ A motorist became enraged, as well he
might.
3/ Motorist taught them a lesson.
Way to go!!
Incidentally, why are these mooning rainbow
freaks not allowed on freeways? I suspect
for the same reason they cause mayhem
everywhere else.
Schadenfreude!
