In yesterday's Guardian, Matt Seaton mentioned "all those photographs in newspapers and online galleries of people in their wellies cycling through floods..."
Matt continues: "What I can't understand is how anyone would inflict such treatment on their bike. It's a barbarism, like whipping a horse, and there ought to be a law against it. "
While no self respecting Moultoneer would inflict such barbarism on their noble steed, there are those bicycle owners that refuse to cycle their bicycles in the rain... now there ought to be a law against that.
