Traffic droid

[classic33]

Just hope he's able to get back on the bike. Its not just the physical injuries to overcome.

Can't give it a like @veloevol, but nice to see he's around to talk about it.

Maybe he will think twice about riding like a dick in the future ? But I doubt it .

We don't know the circumstances but lets consider the fact that the HGV ran over him from behind and that he is a reasonably fast cyclist.

Makes me think that all riders are vulnerable and no riding style is impervious.

I would like to add that I did not want him to get hit and wish him a very speedy recovery .

 

[Kies]

Official: he is a dick

That car did nothing wrong

Confused here. Is the bloke in the video who nearly gets taken out by the Polo the same guy in the BBC clip, speaking from his hospital bed?

 

[mr_cellophane]

He is a bike reporter with The Voice. He has interviewed TD which is probably why he has popped up on this thread.

I wonder if he was wearing the full face helmet when he was hit.

I saw Traffic Droid for the first time before the Big Ride

Yes

 

[fossyant]

Yes

What a tool.

What a tool.

Although we don't know what happened to put him in hospital (aside from a collision with a HGV), and his injuries are clearly very serious. I think his cycling in Veloevol's clip is daft but I would be concerned at what he may conclude about the forum if he happens upon a thread calling him various names whilst he has been seriously injured.

That he rides like a dick ?

Precisely, you think he was was riding like a dick when the video was made. How he was riding, and how the HGV accident occurred is unknown to us at this time, unless you have more information than me. I just wish the guy gets better. If he was riding poorly and was at fault with the accident it is a hell of a way to get a wake up call to alter your style. Getting seriously injured is a pretty harsh penalty for riding a bicycle poorly. I prefer to cut someone lying in a hospital bed with possible long term injuries a bit of slack.
