Cyclist with shopping trolley on back called daft

A man who tried riding his bicycle on a busy road in Cambridge while holding a Tesco shopping trolley on his back has been branded "daft" by a safety campaigner.

Kevin Clinton, The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents’ head of road safety, said: “This is a daft and potentially dangerous thing to do.



“Carrying a supermarket trolley like this will make riding more difficult, especially turning corners, and the rider could easily lose balance and fall into the path of other vehicles on the road.

“It also looks incredibly uncomfortable, which itself would be distracting for the rider.”

If only supermarket trolleys had those, er, what do they call them? Wheels!

Did it not occur to them that he was in unlawful posession of Tesco's trolley? And if not, does anybody know his phone number because I could do with one of those in my garage.
