You say "we" but I don't recognise anybody in the picture. "We" do ourselves no favours if "we" stereotype ourselves. Put another way, there's little I can do as a cyclist to prevent delinquent behaviour like trespassing on the railway, no matter what mode of transport is used.

My "we" was used with ironical intent: I was imagining an anti-cyclist Telegraph reader fuming "typical cyclist" even though most cyclists clearly wouldn't venture onto a railway line.

Swings and roundabouts - on the plus side the miscreant was identified as being a "rogue" cyclists, i.e. a cyclist who wasn't acting like a normal cyclist, thus it wasn't tarring us all with the same brush (even if some readers will). But on the other hand, he was neither cycling nor playing golf despite having the kit for both, yet he was identified as a cyclist not a golfer.
