After a jogger pushed a woman into a road and almost under the wheels of bus, Adam Boulton has linked cyclists to the incident.
Adam Boulton advice to cyclists after London jogger attack
Sky may sponsor the world’s biggest cycling team but the cycling enlightenment clearly hasn’t reached its on-air “talent”.
Sky News’s editor at large Adam Boulton has offered up insane advice to cyclists and joggers.
He was commenting on an attack by a jogger who pushed a pedestrian into the road and almost under the wheels of a bus on a London bridge.
CCTV footage of the incident has made it a major story. A financial professional arrested for questioning has denied he was the jogger.

However, Boulton believes the case should act as a lesson to joggers and cyclists, telling them there is no room for them in central London.
“Joggers and cyclists don't fit on inner city thoroughfares. Find a park or track,” he said on Twitter.
Boulton was widely criticised for his remark, with many pointing out there were no cyclists even involved in the London incident.

@SkyMediaUK you sponsor the 5 times winners of #TDF @TeamSky yet employ a bloke with views like this about cycling, #disappointing

Can i respectfully suggest a bit of cycling wouldn't go amiss on your daily routine! your brain though, that needs slightly more attention

...and forgetting that @rsehole, re your wider point about joggers & cyclists "not fitting": cars are much bigger. By your logic, ban cars.

Yes, let's get London's 1000s of cyclists into cars instead! Think of the wonders that would do for congestion, pollution & obesity...

Widen the troll net, catch more people. I guess he thought adding "and black people" was a step too far.

There is no park or track that goes the 2.5 miles from my house to my work. Must I buy a car or take 3 buses?

There was plenty of room. The jogger is a criminal who tried to murder that woman. He should be in prison, not a "park".

Are you tripping!?! He ran at her and pushed her. There was plenty of room to pass. That was no accident.
