cyclist

On my commute to work today (06:50), Wandsworth Bridge Road was closed to vehicles due to a cyclist being struck by a small lorry. I walked right past the scene where numerous fire fighters and paramedics were attending to the victim, still under the vehicle. Not nice at all. Another cyclist...

Sad thing is the way the driver seems preoccupied with trying to point out that the cyclist did something wrong ................... http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/WATCH-Cyclist-crash-Cambridge-accident-blackspot/story-29186873-detail/story.html

Happened in Edinburgh last year, what are your opinions?

I have written this on a wet afternoon largely for my own amusement. Apologies if it is too long to be of interest, and I will not be offended if the moderators delete it. If there is a deeper purpose, it is to try to defuse some of the hostility I sometimes sense between different styles of...

Not sure where to put this for the widest spread of people who may have had similar, but I had a seizure / blackout on Thursday - no recollection of it nor the moments leading up to it. my last memory before it is being stood in my kitchen, then I'm being licked awake by one of my dogs as I'm...

"Tributes to Syrian dentist Mahfouz Balid who died in Lisburn cycling road incident." Awful. RIP.

Currently on holiday in New Zealand. Came across this good news story in the local paper.

On my way to college tonight, I was saddened to see a cyclist lying on the road at a roundabout. The police was standing by him and an ambulance was parked close to him. They were putting the poor man on a stretcher, ready to take him to hospital. The cyclist seem to be age about 30. A white car...

Maybe its part of the reason I ride solo, also I can actually be me on the bike being solo. Whilst its said we are more tolerant, where does it put me on strava, its not fare to compete being male against female times, but I don't feel male, I never have.

Fairly close to home as well... the trial continues today in Isleworth A cyclist who was nearly knocked off his bike after a sports car driver overtook him closely at speed has brought what is believed to be the UK’s first private prosecution for dangerous driving. Barrister Martin Porter...

Just saw this on the Bristol Post site: http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/moment-BMW-driver-tries-push-Bristol-cyclist-bike/story-28881017-detail/story.html It's on the Post website, which is advertising hell. Get Ad blocker installed before venture over.

I got totalled just a few metres from my house the other day. Broad day light, plenty of witnesses, this guy turned straight across me without indicating or looking. His wing-mirror got smashed up and he got a bit of a mouthful from me. My bike's mostly alright (luckily it was my old one, if it...

Is this being discussed yet... couldn't find it if it is... Police say there is not enough evidence to prosecute a hit-and-run driver who accelerated into a cyclist - despite the incident being captured on video. The video clearly shows the car number plate, but it was a hire vehicle and...

Story here. Exact details not clear yet. Victim was well known in NE cycling circles although as a fairly new member of my local club I didn't know him myself. Given the mention of the impatient motorist in the report it's perhaps just as well that comments are closed.

This time it's a police car, really?:eek: http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/news/14242200.Cyclist_hurt_in_crash_with_police_car_in_Southampton/

Phone in, 5 Live 9 am today. Expect the usual, I guess. Some of you may care to wade in.

Often rightly portrayed as natural enemies, who has a foot in both camps ? I do, as an owner of what would be described as a big ass German 4x4 and a couple of bikes. But I like to think my experience as a road cyclist informs my approach when driving. The advantage is that when I slow down...
