Some scumbag did that to my dad when he was in his late fifties and he never cycled again.
 
Some half-brain tried to do it to me last year; luckily I pinged him in my mirror first so took evasive action.
Got the van reg. and his handsome features on my camera; so if I had hit the deck an assault charge would have been in order!

Hope the old dude in the article makes a full recovery and gets back on the bike..

Doesn't really cut close enough, what type of person would do that, what if it was their parent/partner/child that someone else did it to ????

Scary that its pretty close to home too

There was a spate of this in my area (Bucks / Oxfordshire) a few years back, but usually it took place out of town.

Looking at where this happened you just have to hope there were some witnesses. Good luck to Mr. Myers; Let's just hope his confidence isn't ruined by it all.

I hope I'm still knocking out 70 mile runs at the age of 73!

What's the betting the Mail will have an article attacking 'Lycra louts' before the end of next week?
Hypocritical scum.
Best wishes to Mr Myers, and here's hoping the two responsible get theirs soon. And often.
 
Now that digital cameras are becoming cheap as chips the idea of a rear facing one on the seatpost would be a good idea. Not only would you have the reg number of anyone who did this but their approach, intent and actions would be clearly visible as evidence.

Best wishes to the old boy for a speedy recovery, hope it doesn't hit his confidence to much and he gets in many more enjoyable miles once he recovers. As for the twat who took him of, I hope they catch up with them and they get what they deserve for this.
