is where Matthew Parris wrote that cyclists should be decapitated.

Here is what he wrote:

"I offended many with my Christmas attack on cyclists. It was meant humorously but so many cyclists have taken it seriously that I plainly misjudged. I am sorry".

I apologise most sincerely if something that simple confused you.
