Moher daredevil says saga no cliffhanger

A DAREDEVIL mountain-biker who risked his life by cycling along a one-metre wide ledge at the Cliffs of Moher in Co Clare has said his actions have been blown out of all proportion by the authorities.

World Champion Swiss cyclist Hans Rey made the comments even after being informed that a large portion of the same ledge he cycled along four years ago crumbled into the Atlantic in recent weeks.

In October 2006, Hans Rey and Englishman Steve Peat cycled along a 20 metre-long, one metre-wide ledge on the 700ft high cliffs.
