Rock legend and national treasure he may be, but Sir Paul McCartney isn’t afraid to dish it out to those who have given him cause for offence – remember that spat with his publicist a few years back after a midnight visit to see American illusionist David Blaine? – and now the ex-Beatle’s ire has been turned on a London cyclist.
According to The Sun, McCartney performed a surreal dance and put on a high-pitched voice to express his outrage at a cyclist riding along the streets near his Soho office who was urging pedestrians to get out of his way, although it’s unclear from the article whether the rider was on the pavement or the road.
The newspaper says that the 68-year-old, who despite the usual Lennon/McCartney credit is thought to have self-penned Beatles classics with potentially bike-related titles such as Fixing A Hole, Why Don’t We Do It In The Road and I’ll Follow the Sun, not to mention The Long and Winding Road, dashed out and shouted after the cyclist, “Ooh I'm so scary, I'm so scary," while performing a bizarre dance.
Bystander Mark Thorburn, aged 37, told the newspaper: "The cyclist was telling everyone to f*** off out of his way.
"Paul danced like an elf and put on a squeaky voice to take the mickey. It was the funniest and most surreal thing I've seen."
There’s no report of whether the cyclist, who was evidently Flying, was a Day Tripper or Some Other Guy, and it appears that the rock star’s exclamations met with No Reply.
£2400 up from £2000 is a 20% price increase on the previous version. That's not a small thing, that's insane.
You're confusing whether there should be a controversy (or whether you think there should be one) with whether there is one.
Because "you can't carry a sofa on a bike!" (apologies - that's two bikes, so here's a bonus bed and washing machine).
The BikeSnob has him covered (along with being pals with Lance...) so you don't have to.
This professional driver who carries members of the public should have their PSV license removed for good.
I'm just waiting for the new Ultimate..... what is everyone's guess as to when it will be released?
Only one of these two parties is a criminal threatening to murder the other. That's why your analysis is completely wrong.
After finishing my first ever driving lesson, the 'instructor' drove me home, reaching 40mph in a 30mph zone. 'I'll get you home quickly' he said....
What I want is not to be close passed, so despite having the excellent Varia Radar and a Fly-6, all that tech is not as effective as a £1 white...
There is an unfortunate irony in the suggestion that less cycling to school is part of the solution here.
