Dunedin police say they know the two women who allegedly abused and assaulted a pair of cyclists over the weekend. New Zealand representative cyclist Shane Melrose, 30, and Logan Edgar, 19 were riding two-abreast on Loan Metal Rd towards Outram, 11km northwest of Mosgiel, on Saturday when a car forced them off the road. The driver sounded the horn and the passenger shouted abuse out the window before the vehicle stopped suddenly, forcing Mr Melrose into gravel on the wrong side of the road. "It came up pretty quickly and tried to collect us with the front door," Mr Edgar told The Otago Daily Times. He was caught behind the open car door when a woman got out and began slapping and punching him, he said.She also threw a bottle at him."The woman was going nuts. They dragged my bike into the front passenger seat and took off," he said. "It's stranger than fiction." Mr Edgar said he was frustrated by the attack and theft of his $12,000 bike and hit the car, breaking his hand. Police yesterday found his undamaged bike in a ditch.Dunedin Senior Sergeant Bruce Ross today said he knew who the women were and they would be spoken to shortly.

Really Mike?
If I edited the ODT I'd place it on the front page with a silhouette of the 'anonymous tipsters."
This story has everything. To ya'll, the link is well worth a read. Mike doesn't know comedy when he reads it.

The ODT was contacted by the 'idiots' and I assume the agreement was if you print the conversation you can't print our names. Stuff wasn't bound by any such agreement.
The statements by the car drivers are funny, what's confusing about that?
