I'm a cyclist, but am more than willing to shoulder charge any
cyclist who cycles across a crossing while I have the green man.

Risky, I'm 16 stone and I average 20-21mph on the road. You don't want
to shoulder charge me mate!

If he's 23 stone then you should end up on the floor, with any luck.

I don't think he has to be as heavy as that. Some of us will remember
how a small boy was able to bring down Lance Armstrong. It doesn't need
much of a push on the handlebars to put you on the floor.


Wasn't that because his bars got hooked on a stationary object ( the
boy) by a ligature ( the mussett )?

I think it would have been different if the boy had been in front of
Lance. Unless I'm thinking af a different occasion?

FWIW, I believe it was a Credit Lyonnais lunchbag. These are thrown to
the crowd by the caravan which passes through before the riders. They
have nice long strings on them, so are very good for hooking
handlebars.
