    I assume cyclists are evicted when aircraft use the runway? There would
    be hell to pay if an aircraft wiped out a peloton.

    Especially when they reduced "Aviation Partition Regulation –
    International Legislation Form 001" to its acronym.

    Or, indeed, the Regulation cite in the article. Or... *we* are being >>whooshed, or 'gossed'.

    Hactar could have claimed to be gossing, but he'd already conceded by
    the time you raised the possibility.

    I look forward to the legislation requiring military jets to have
    notices on the back warning cyclists not to enter the pilot's blind
    spot.

    I want to see Braille flight instructions in the cockpit.
