Putting aside the fact that I believe they are an absolute death-trap (as a driver, I believe it is sometimes almost impossible to see them because they are so close to the ground), I have some sympathy for the paraplegic cyclist who had his cycle stolen from outside his house (as reported on BBC London News). However, I have to confess that I struggled to conceal a giggle when the poor chap commented that the thief had to be (quote) "pretty low".
