Ps actually if you are going to ride on the roads you should pay rego and have a number plate, only fair Once again,single file please !!!!
Seriously I'm all for allowing bike riders to ride on the rd's etc but please act responsible and stay in file...
Yesterday the plot took an interesting twist. Poor old Warnie was sitting innocently in his luxury car at traffic lights when for no reason he was attacked by a maniac on two wheels. Again his first post is at the bottom:
its amazing how things pan out, i have only been saying recently please bike riders obey the road rules and keep it safe for everyone ...
that i was being polite and careful and the drivers around him otherwise if anyone decided to be an idiot then he was in real trouble.
anyway, i drive off he rides off and everyone was shaking their head at this bike rider as he was being very dangerous. he was very lucky
can't move nor anyone else, i go to slowly move around him and he just moves with me, yep clipped his tyre and he then abuses me some more.
are you doing he abuses me i say get off the road, he stops in front of me and holds up traffic and just stays on his bike ! so, now i.....
he pulls out in front of me whacks my bonnet with his hand and pulls out in front of all the traffic, i yell out hey buddy what the hell ...
thump on my boot, looked in mirror a bike rider hit my car then held onto my car to pull himself through the traffic, lights change.....
guys stay with me here its important... so there i was driving home after a training session at the mcg.. pulled up at the lights, felt a..
The story got some play in the papers this morning, quoting Warne's tweets. Turns out the cyclist saw Warne's tirade and came up with a totally different version of events. Some highlights:
“What are you doing? You don’t own the road! Get out of the way” he yelled repeatedly. I shook my head and probably yelled something similarly inane back. Now even more agitated the driver continued to yell, “you don’t own the road”.
"Before I could the driver lurched his car forward forcing my bike wheel and almost my leg under the front of his car. Dumbfounded at how overtly aggressive the driver had been and aware that we were now holding up the traffic, I pulled my bike from under the car and attempted to continue riding. My wheel was jammed against the frame of my bike and the chain was tangled so I had to carry it to the footpath to fix it."Long story short, the bloke says Warne drove into him and failed to stop. He posted a photo of his buckled back wheel to support his version of events and reported the incident to the police who are apparently doing nothing because the damage to the bike is a civil matter. And oddly, Warne now just wants to put it all behind him as quickly as possible.

Have just seen bike riders version of events, please buddy - whatever ! I'm not going to get into a 5 year old tit for tat..,
I suppose it's too much to expect Warne to be some sort of role model. For a bloke who wants cyclists to obey the law, he's got a funny way of showing the respect he demands. By his own account he ran into someone and left the scene of an accident. He may have been a first-class cricketer but his conduct over the last week does nothing more than show him up as a first class dill.
