On Their Bikes
My colleague Martina Purdy is full of tales about this morning's MLA bike race - an annual event which coincides with National Bike week. The East Antrim MLA Roy Beggs Jr. won the race (yet more evidence of UCUNF riding high?)
Basil McCrea often rushes towards our cameras. But on this occasion, whilst seeking to gain advantage, he nearly knocked over the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ camera man.
Ian Paisley Junior threw a few wheelies, whilst Caitriona Ruane complained "why do they have to make it a competition?", which I suppose fits with her "all should get the prizes" approach to education.
The Green MLA Brian Wilson didn't take part because he can't ride a bike and prefers to walk. The SDLP's Thomas Burns got stuck in traffic and missed it all, and the Ulster Unionist Deputy Leader Danny Kennedy came last, claiming it was a ploy to get attention (evidence of UNCUNF running out of road?)
On his first day as a new UUP MLA, Danny Kinahan (who has replaced David Burnside in South Antrim) watched from the sidelines, with his hand bandaged after being bitten by his own dog, a Great Dane called Tally.
