Two men accused of driving up to cyclists in rural south-west France and pushing them into ditches for fun have gone on trial in Toulouse for organised violence and could face up to five years in prison.
The two men, aged 20 and 22, were arrested last year after a spate of cyclists being pushed off their bikes on quiet country roads. One victim told the newspaper La Dépêche: “It was April … I’d gone out on my bike for the afternoon. When I got to a little country road … I felt a car was following me silently. It was driving very slowly behind me when it could easily have overtaken me. Then after a few minutes it drove up beside me. The car’s passenger suddenly pushed me down.”
« Ce sont des faits graves mais surtout je tiens à le dire d’une stupidité affligeante », souligne la représentante du ministère public avant de requérir leur placement en détention provisoire.

Alright, I’ll take the bait.
Bikes don’t clog roads, even weaving side to side a bicycle will take up less of a lane than an average car would. I think you’ll find that those delightful curvy mountain roads will look even better from outside a car and at a slower pace.
Any vehicle with two wheels is unstable and cannot remain perfectly straight and upright. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t still be complaining if bikes had four wheels.
It’s loser, not looser. If you’re going to troll at least learn how to spell.
Source? Every person on a bike is one fewer car in your way.
Bury is spelled with a single R. Improper spelling takes away your credibility.
