Clicky (Sky News)

I hope it's no-one we know.

More here.
Looks like stupidity in the extreme, if you ask me.  Quite apart from the risk to himself, he might have knocked another passenger onto the rails.

Shame the picture is of an unelectrified track........

Well he won't get my sympathy,  it's completely idiotic to do such things.

Incredibly, the 'tards on the comment page are calling for bikes to be banned and claiming all cyclists are stupid...

B*gger!  One of those - 'tards - quoted:

As I have said for years the bike is dangerous, as this latest incident has proven, and should be banned. Cyclists are a menace. Could have been worse, he could have knocked a standing passenger on to the line.

almost my exact words

he might have knocked another passenger onto the rails.

back at me!  It's not me, Guv, honest!

You are Jeremy Clarkson and ICMFP.

I couldn't be bothered to trawl through eleven pages, but I only saw one comment saying bikes should be banned.  Some people will take any opportunity to get on their high horse

[rogerzilla]

Ah...one of them has been deleted, but was to the effect that "cyclists have no brains".

[Deano]

Hmmm nice to see Sky News have their priorities right - they've left in all the rotten jokes about how shocking it is and so on.

Hmmm...Sam hasn't posted on ACF in the last couple of days, he lives near Hastings and I'd guess he might be 47, although I'm useless with ages.

Well, as per your first post, I really do hope it's nobody we know.
