False story - we are always told that this never happens.

For once, your sarcasm is almost justified and properly deployed.

Cars, until quite recently, were never known to drive.

I have only heard that phrase when explaining to thickos as to why cyclists are not subject to speed limits.

You are absolutely useless at plain English, aren't you?

A set of pedals attached to a cog which drives another cog via a chain
is a machine (look up the definition of the word - if you household
runs to a dictionary). The whole chav-cycle is also a machine with which
to gain mechanical advantage (you could also look that up and check
whether it requires a fuel-powered engine other than a life-form (or
even a low-life-form such as a chav-cyclist; hint: it doesn't).

And we are already well aware of your total disdain for the rules of the
road - including but not limited to those relating to the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol - when you are riding your chav-bike.

You have even admitted it (here), boasting that you rode your chav-bike
home from a pub whilst intoxicated.
