I'm afraid that over the past few days, a far more accurate and speedy method of identifying cyclists. The thread started by 'spindrift', or maybe Magna, contains a link to a video which CLEARLY shows a couple of things, and implies some others.

The CLEAR things are attempted criminal damage, a S5 public order offence, and an incandescent with rage cyclist. The POSSIBLE things are a breach of the HC (not the law, remember). So, the identification method is which reaction you have to this thread. Are you mildly bemused by the furore, and firmly of the belief that the cyclist is inflammatory and stupid, or are you one of the spit-flecked foaming at the mouth loons who want to see some poor bastard lose his job for what was at worst a harmless error of judgement. There ya go, you're a cyclist. Of should I have said psycholist?
