  1. Piece this morning on the Radio Cambridge about a cyclist who has been riding
    up and stabbing people walking on cyclepaths in the back. So far stabbed
    about 5 people - all thought initially they had just been thumped on the back.
    Not clear whether it has anything to do with cycling or cyclepaths or is just
    a looney on a bike.

    Hmm. Sounds like a psycho (path).

    Sounds like dangerous lunatic who happens to be using a bike as mode of
    transport. One can but hope said nasty bit of work is apprehended soon.

    Apparently this bloke has been riding around on a bike that's too small for
    him and wearing a cowboy-style bandana - but it's not exclusively people
    walking on cyclepaths that have been targeted. The attacks have been on
    Jesus Green, Chesterton Road and Fisher Street

    If he was jumping out of a car he wouldn't be described as a motorist - just
    a man no doubt. I guess the cycle makes it easier to identify him possibly.

    According to the warnings circulating the student community in
    Cambridge, there is a gentleman in his late teens/early 20s using a
    bike too small for him to attack pedestrians in the small hours.
    People alone and in one case a pair have been targetted. The attacker
    does not say anything, and in the first three attacks merely punched
    and the in later ones used a knife. He apparently rides up from
    behind with his arm out and cycles away, though two victims have
    reported seeing him cycle past them before he attacked them. It would
    seem to be "a looney on a bike".
    Source: info circulated to students by the officer in charge of the
    investigation on Thursday.

    Looking for a cyclist in Cambridge is a bit like looking for a student
    or a tourist.

    The solution is obviously to arrest anyone who looks like a student, tourist,
    cyclist, or thug!
