spugs use the tealeaf method.

More fun watching them fly. Even better if at the time they are on their mobile.

Then thud as they do a belly flop on the pavement.

But they would still have the mobile in hand on impact before

Is that for treatment or to have the mobile amputated from their hand

The mobile amputated from the hand and sometimes from the ear. A broken mobile is more distressing to them than a shattered body.

The body can be fixed but the mobile well that is their whole life. A bit like many young women and men (18 - 30) who cant live without it.

Makes you wonder just what did they do before the mobile came on the scene Spuggs

I hear what you say there but the reality is if you/anyone were to try and hit(shoulder) any passing cyclist it would be you who would go flying and probably end up on your arse as they would be travelling at speed and the likelyhood is they would hit you as opposed to you hitting them..
and for the record I have had people try to hit me and I was on the road - they were on the white lines in the middle waiting to cross and because I didnt go fast enough by them or stop for them? they tried to kick and hit me..
they were wasters with tracksuits and pitbulls to suit so I shouldnt have been surprised really..
the thought of headbutting one of them with my cycle helmet on was very appealing..

They dont speak they grunt slurp n gargle. Maybe a flight over the handle bars with them landing on their heads might help them. Only problem is who would pay for the pavement damage?

Let common sense & consideration rule !
Cyclist should be allowed to ride on the pavements, as long as they are aware and considerate to pedestrians, and of course it depends on the locality. I ride on some single carriage rural roads (A585 fleetwood to the M55 ) where cars and HGV belt past you at 50+ mph, whilst the pavements alongside remain some of the most unused I've ever seen.
