We have to tickle ourselves a bit more to laugh at this!

Voter Thursday, 09 November 2017 08:01 PM

No helicopter!? Do this everyday and you will lose weight !!!!

Casanova Friday, 10 November 2017 11:32 AM

I wonder what these junkers eat, look at the sizes of them.

Labby Thursday, 09 November 2017 02:50 PM

Big deal.During the period 1970 to 77, even that was not possible. There were no cycle tubes available anywhere, let alone fuel.

Wise Donkey Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:59 PM

All are suffering from very high BP or diabetes and they are doing this on doctor's advice on the pretext petrol protest. Whom are they fooling?

vajja Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:18 PM

When that happenned MR had already joined the SLFP; Mr Sirisena has joined the party after that period only.

Pradeep Thursday, 09 November 2017 02:52 PM

Very good, if they can continue this . They can buy bicycles for their duty free permits. SL can save lots of money. Tax payers pays for buying luxury vehicles, spares for vehicles and pumping fuel for their vehicles.

GC Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:08 PM

Very good. This will help them get rid of their big tummies (evidence of a lot money that helps over-eating) and be fit to run or walk next time.

Laminate Thursday, 09 November 2017 02:56 PM

MR came from Madamulana by bicycle, What a joke?

clifford Thursday, 09 November 2017 02:56 PM

Jokers of the day !!!

KOLA KOTIYA Thursday, 09 November 2017 02:59 PM

ALI BABA N THE GANG

ANTON Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:02 PM

OK ...... WHERE DID THEY PARK THEIR LUXURY VEHICLES ?

bala Thursday, 09 November 2017 04:24 PM

Pajeros Land Cruisers Benzes Audis all parked at Waters Edge and hired cycles mounted.

Arnold Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:05 PM

If MR was in power till today we will be dead of starvation by now.

srilankan Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:05 PM

at least now he has realized that he needs to cut his cholesterol..... good job sir.... next time try a skate board or a just walking..... it will help your pack of clowns as well,......

hemantha Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:06 PM

During his time many vehicles were damaged due to low quality petrol.

Hubert Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:12 PM

What about the Pottaniya ?

alex Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:17 PM

please also go back home cycling

Continue Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:18 PM

Hope they will continue the same. the country could save lots of money

johan Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:25 PM

He is little jealous about the budget so he wants the public to concentrate in his cycling.Still they are cheating the masses

SW Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:07 PM

What is there to be jealous of the budget - 20 cts have to be paid for 1000/- withdrawal from the bank - is it the thing to be jealous?

BuffaloaCitizen Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:27 PM

These are called monkey tricks to create attention away from what he is famous for, like the way Sri Lankan aircraft were standby for days at the airport when he visited Vatican, Indian Temples, China

flanker Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:47 PM

Well done MR you have set a good example to the current crop of ministers who cannot move an inch without their luxury cars. The current ministers should be given bullock carts and not luxury cars and save the valuable tax papers money to develop the country.

Lal Friday, 10 November 2017 07:24 AM

He came to Colombo in his luxury car and tool a bicycle from there.

Ram Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:52 PM

This is a good start and I praise MR

Hiran Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:56 PM

Oh, please MR has a fleet of vehicles, he couldn't find one with enough petrol to come to parliament?

ravin Thursday, 09 November 2017 03:59 PM

Well done Mr. ex president. You prove that the freedom of this country has at present is safe for all of us to cycle around and all motorcades are just waste of public money. Had you done this few days ago, we could have save lot of fuel for poor three wheel drivers to earn little extra.

gamini Thursday, 09 November 2017 04:15 PM

he must have sold his duty free vehicles

Sharon Thursday, 09 November 2017 04:19 PM

A good mark of protest against Petrol issue...

Sofia Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:47 PM

Very cheap juvenile stuff - good for the gallery and a laugh. What is the real contribution of this.

Silly Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:08 PM

ha ha ha.... i am laughing because the bodyguards are running behind MR. I think they too deserve bikes.

jiffri Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:09 PM

I'm so sad about the security guards running behind.

Ashok Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:15 PM

This Is The Result Of MR Going To China Many Times.

citizen Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:20 PM

WELL Now they have the freedom to demonstrate the Anger on the Government, During his Regime no one DARED to do anything like this. There was Fuel Crisis during his Regime Sub Standard fuel was imported many vehicles were stranded on the ROAD Pumping for Vehicles. WE DONT FORGET

DD Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:23 PM

Joke is not coming to Parliament by bikes. Joke is putting people into misery without petrol which is one of the most essential things to people.

Sincere Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:32 PM

Instead of ridiculing this, appreciate their good example. Today they have realized the grave sin of robbing the nation for their luxury vehicles. In future they will use only bicycles, and donate to the treasury the Lamborghini's, BMW's Mercedes Benz's.

Haramanis Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:44 PM

MR and group are to be admired for cycling - haven't forgotten the old skills!!! great!!

Rufus Norton Thursday, 09 November 2017 05:47 PM

Here come the clowns of the circus.

Buddhi Perera Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:04 PM

Four wheel Robbers on two wheels

raza Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:06 PM

Not only today, must come daily, so that import cost will come down. We can export all super luxury cars.

Alex Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:07 PM

What a joke! They have distributed poor quality petrol earlier and now fingering to others. People are not mad.

Wildaku Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:21 PM

He is the man who created this petrol shortage and is behind all other strikers... nd now he cycles in protest?? He should be cycling like this for ever... So are his guards cycling too???

TOMMYMEN. Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:34 PM

THE MAIN PURPOSE OF CYCLING IS TO REDUCE THE HUGE BELLY IN THE PRETEXT OF PROTEST . via DM Android App

Hautaum Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:36 PM

Bindu Friday, 10 November 2017 11:14 AM

History repeats. A twist of fate. The sins committed by you, have brought you back to the level you have started.

anura Friday, 10 November 2017 12:48 PM

MR clearly shows his political bankruptcy by the way he resorts to this type of childish activities.MR still moves around with his corrupt friends , definitely MR should not be given another chance. Country must find new uncorrupted talent . Not recycled leaders like MR who has no courage to stay away from the corrupt friends.

Muraly Friday, 10 November 2017 01:46 PM

All are brand new bicycles. Would have spend some money on this.

Yeti Friday, 10 November 2017 07:38 PM

Our money of course!!!

Mason Friday, 10 November 2017 06:00 PM

Good exercise, keep it up. Will stay healthy enough for long to loot the country for years to come.

jaliya Friday, 10 November 2017 07:30 PM

Its good for a change that the monkey gets fresh air. Now tell me how is your butt feels ? Ah... that's how the country feels when you screw them with public funds to your personnel bank account.

Kadiya Friday, 10 November 2017 07:59 PM

Great pics. but what is missing are 'horned helmets' on the heads of these Hell's Angels!!!!!
