I read in the Daily Fail today, so it must be true? That during the Olympics in London that quote “rickshaw drivers are also being targeted with the latter facing prosecution under an archaic law from 1839 that prohibits cycling furiously”. Does that include me?
Where the hell is this law scraped up from? I am often furious in mind set after being cut up by a car lol for a few minutes after (not riding madly after). Perhaps they can prosecute me for that? Or my legs are peddling madly (not a problem on my Ebike hehe). Surely they can prosecute them under existing laws like dangerous cycling with undue care or attention to other road users etc. If that is a law?
Seems to me they can do you for anything these days just bring back laws from the 1500’s etc though shall take thy sword to a Penny Farthing if he cuts you up. Interesting the Penny Farthing was introduced in 1891 after 1839, just wiki’ed it. They can see the future.
Just some research and it is Riding and not cycling (bloody Daily Fail).

I am going to post it because it took me time to write it.
Moral of the story is learn from your first sentence. Do research before you post and go off on one, another lesson learned for me. No matter how old you are you still learn.
