Does anyone have the KSI stats for penny farthings for the last 5 years, I suspect they are lower than for these so called Safety bicycles!

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

In that £1000 exactly scenario, beginners should probably be made aware that pedals will be extra.

He should beat up his web designer.
Yes, or else he got the fear and called his solicitor, who said "you're bang to rights, hand yourself in so at least there'll be *something* to say in your defence in court".
Glad to see the thug will be called to account. Community service order with a bike recycling project?
He should sort out some of the spelling on his website. It makes him look unprofeshionnell!
Given the incident that happened and some of the comments about him, the photo with him holding a tissue might be best changed as well.
But Ridgeback, John has high scores in his A levels in Law, History and Maths, AND he has Dip WCF after his name, see? His inability to spell is obviously not his fault, it's society's.
I'm sorry, but watch the video again, does that look like a guy who would be doing delicate jobs on horses?
Also, i'm not sure about it being him because he's about half the size in the photo compared to the video
Maybe someone should give him a ring, as if he undertakes any other jobs, i thought Farriers were a bit like blacksmiths? see if he wants to start repairing some bike frames that other thugish drivers have done damage to
The police are hopeless in these cases.
I was purposefully and maliciously driven into whilst cycling, and knocked onto the pavement (thankfully not under the car) in a similar incident at the end of last year. The driver proceeded to get out and verbally abuse me as I lay on the ground before driving away. There were two independent witnesses, and the incident as well as the registration number of the offender's car (RO08 XYT) were reported to the police within 15 minutes but they still did nothing. Glad to hear there might be one less ignorant idiot on the roads as a result of this guy's efforts. I'm tempted to get a helmet camera...
Well, it goes to show you can't judge a book by it's cover. 'There's nothing as funny as folk' as they say.
You could be right on that score. It'd be a good defence in court I reckon. "It's not my fault, it's society's."
I did note he didn't claim an A level in English.
Good news. Stocks? Where's the rehabilitation in that? Give him a decent road bike and make him ride 100 miles nonstop with a gilet saying 'Beep if you hate cyclists' on the back. That'll earn his respect.
Dartford born..? Sounds too refined for him to me. Sure he's not from Chatham? (I refer you to previous joke threads...) : )
what a nobhead.
The inability to spell or punctuate correctly on the website says it all. Have a look and have a laugh at the illiterate moron.
Either the owner of the car is prosecuted for perverting the course of justice, or the thug is done for car theft as well.
Bring back hanging !
This is what I bought as a result of the incident, and was advised to get a spare battery and a 16Gb card

Chuck him in a windowless cell with one light bulb hooked up to a bike, no wheels... just a dynamo.
And a cyclist punching him in the face when he dips under 40k an hour - There's training incentive right there.
Actually, punchy made it into Cycling Weekly on Thursday.
