Cycle Surgery to host women’s evenings

I guess. But I've seen a fair amount of this sort of entitled behaviour from cyclists sharing paths with pedestrians... I noticed he said he'd got a 120db horn and had used it...Makes you think he was actually used to blasting it at people who had the temerity to be in his way.

Yup. Complete dick and someone who gives us all a bad name.

Well done!

Annoyingly with it being in the Daily Fail they will be using it to fuel the hatred of cyclists :-(

He might have had sight lines through the trees overtaking the second car, but I doubt it for the first - the ground is raised, most likely blocking any view around the corner. So it was probably a stupid risk to take, but the point a lot of critics miss is that as a cyclist he's only a danger to himself, not others.

I think it happens quite a lot, just not reported. Just one of those things. How often do we really hear about the four and a half deaths on our roads that occur every single day.

Not sure about it contributing to any debate but the guy is a prick. This is akin to when drivers claim they didn't realise they had hit a cyclist. I wouldn't have overtaken if there was someone in the way let alone a child but even if I had a rush of blood to the head and did, if I touched the child I would have stopped to make sure she was ok. I have children of my own and when you have kids you are around kids and the little blighters get everywhere and occasionally you bump into them. You don't just assume they are fine and go on your merry way, you check on them if you're a decent human. He totally would have known he hit her quite firmly as well. Even if we are to believe it wasn't intentional, he would have known it wasn't a light contact.

For their own safety, cyclists shan't expect motorists to pay attention to them. Like it or not, we are the most vulnerable road users. Consequently, we better anticipate the worse case scenario. Suburban areas being particularly hazardous.

Whatever one do on two wheels, they are wrong - too slow on climbs, too fast on twisty downhills. That said, safety shall prevail at all times. It can be frustrating to be stuck behind traffic, but this is also the opportunity to eat, drink and relax.

back in around 2013/14 I was attacked and robbed of my bike in Bermondsey, very close to where this incident happened. They were in a large group of around 15-20, one of whom came up behind me and whacked me with a hammer. fortunately he missed my head and hit my neck/ shoulder. anyway some kind person called the police & 2 plainclothes officers arrived after a few minutes. I got into their car and they drove to a nearby housing estate. the officers went into a building and returned a couple of minutes later with the bike, which I still have and often ride. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's the same group doing it all these years later.
