Seriously, I'm getting sick of this.
Something similar happened to me last week. Cycling along a single track country lane, heard a car behind. Passing place up the road, driver too impatient to wait. Drove past and brushed against my shoulder. I wobbled, unclipped my right foot and, for some reason - rather than trying to stabilise myself - I tried to kick the side of his van/truck thing. Missed! But just managed to stay upright as I shouted, 'you f*cking w*nker!' Not sure he heard me.

I've given up road cycling ! I'll stick to crashing into tree stumps on my MTB's. Permanent spinal damage caused by a driver makes you re-think (and nearly being in a wheel chair). I'm not sure my back will take another hit from a car.

I've in a similar situation fossyant. Suffered a spinal cord injury last year. Still recovering. My consultant told me that I'll live the rest of my life with the sword of damacles hanging over me. Determined not to let it stop me doing the things I love though.
Had thought I'd be safe from such morons on the quiet Norfolk country lanes I now stick to. Apparently not!

Not sure if this actually happened or just some dopey story from Shroomey.

Nope - our quiety country lanes have more than their fair share of morons unfortunately! And they can cause more damage cos there's nowhere to bail out to half the time.

Nothing personally, I wouldn't think. The bike is worth more than 10 grand though.

Time to legalise James Bond style customised bikes. Machine gun on the bars, spikes on the wheels. Cocktail maker on the top tube.
