Cyclist assaulted by van driver and passenger after close pass
Police in Hull have launched an appeal after a cyclist was left with serious injuries after he spoke to a van driver who had made a close pass on him shortly beforehand.
Hull Live says that the cyclist, who has not been named, was almost knocked from his bike when the motorist overtook him on the city’s Endike Lane.
After the close pass, which happened at around 5.20pm last Tuesday 25 February, the cyclist caught up with the vehicle at a set of traffic lights.
He spoke to the driver about the close pass, at which point a passenger got out of the vehicle and assaulted him.
The driver also got out of the van and joined in the assault.
The cyclist sustained serious facial injuries and needed to go to hospital for treatment.
Humberside Police said that two men had been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The pair have been released while investigations continue, and police are appealing for witnesses to contact them on 101 citing log 446 of 25 February or the charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Is this still available ?
5th (or 3rd if you discount very small states)
Thanks for the answers. I have nowhere to try the listed bib shorts and I have to order them online so I am somehow guided by logic and gather...

But we need more "car" lanes, how else can we drive hundreds of miles if/when we are told to self isolate.
Sorry double. I am getting athe Ajax error, a lot. Must stop re "Save" ing
I know people want value, but that could really do with hydraulic brakes. Worth an extra £100. Great flexibility with the mounts though.
But if you look at the stats drivers who passed there tests 20-40 years ago are not high risk groups....
He was probably on his way to Barnard Castle.
Indexed?! What's wrong with proper friction levers, on the down tube where they belong too?
