I’ve cycled through this exact spot many, many times
I have also cycled these exact roads twice in both directions recently travelling from Garstang to my daughter’s house in Leeds. Do we assume the killer has been driving around unrestricted for the last three years?
The problem is that the police/ OpSnap refusing to enforce red traffic lights/ mobile phone/ MOT/ other blatant offences is not news but routine police practice – goodness knows I’ve shown enough indisputable video evidence on here of police condoning even repeat and persistent offending

Loose leaf Russian style Earl Grey is my favourite
Personal preference rules! There are no extra funny bits of dried peel etc. in Booths Earl Grey, but the black leaves look just like those in your photo.

Crikey! This coffee business
Crikey! This coffee business is hard and complicated work when an alternative is easy and cheap: go down to Booths (some research will be required to determine the most suitable variety) and buy a sealed pack of loose Earl Grey for £3. Put a small amount, about 3 mls for 400 mls tea, in a tea-egg or similar device and add almost boiling water. The pack lasts more than 2 months. All reminiscent of tubes v. tubeless, although I am thinking of TPU as a concession to progress.Yes, my thoughts are that
Yes, my thoughts are that anything will do for 8 miles, but the easiest solution is a big Carradice Odyssey saddlebag. Quick on and off using the QR bracket on the seat pillar, durable nylon.We must hope there are no
We must hope there are no shoddy ‘plea bargain’ offers to this ‘kill and run’ out-and-out villain. It shows the state of traffic law in the UK that it’s not inconceivable!TBH it sounds to me that the
TBH it sounds to me that the hooded men running from the car were probably on their way to the nearest police station to report the incident. One of them probably took the number plate to help remember his registration number

If that was a cyclist going down the road and hitting that, it could have resulted in a serious injury. They might have gone over the top of their handlebars, hitting the cold road before a car came up behind them
Hilarious festive fun! As if anyone in a Panzer could care less about a cyclist being KSI’d! It’s like the sincere concern claimed by protesters for the disabled, the elderly, the children, the trees… when all they’re bothered about is loss of parking spaces, installation of a cycle lane etc. etc.A video shows someone scaling

No arrest and ‘words of advice’ means no action by the police over vandalism of public facilities, even when the vandal is caught in the act. Well, we can’t say the police are inconsistent!I can’t believe someone could
I can’t believe someone could do this and just abandon him in the road
I can, because the penalty for ‘Hit and Run’ is barely more that for ‘Hit’ (which is not much anyway if you hit a cyclist) and you have a very good chance of getting away with it completely. In any case, you can claim you thought you hit a fridge or a bag of potatoes, and can claim to have had a few drinks at home to steady your nerves to get away with drink-driving35mm Marathon Plus give
35mm Marathon Plus give astonishingly good grip even in the wet, when you wear them out so much that there’s a central blue strip made of the puncture protection round the whole circumference. I am studying how far I can push my luckmy Christmas wish is I just
my Christmas wish is I just want this to stop
Then you’ll need a completely different police force and a completely different public opinion – the police are prepared to do nothing at all to prevent KSIs (to cyclists, at least) but are ready to bash out the ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ instead; the public opinion is that nothing whatsoever must be done which they THINK will reduce the convenience of driving fast for idle people.I suppose the good thing
I suppose the good thing about this is that, when greeted by something they can’t understand, they stop whereas a lot of drivers just carry on regardless…
…killing any cyclist who happens to be in the way when ‘the sun is in my eyes’. Give me a Waymo over a BMW or Audi driver any time! This is Audi A4 KX66 UFN, so full of Christmas Spirit that he wanted to grant me some luxury hospital days over Christmas

The defence lawyer seems to be the person for whom the term ‘Shyster Lawyer’ was invented, but it’s difficult to blame him when magistrates are so terminally gullible and the giving of ridiculous excuses clearly works. We need to get rid of magistrates and replace them with Kickass Judge Dredd characters who dare to say ‘Away with your nonsense, Poltroon!’ or ‘Cut the crap, sonny boy- penalty doubled’
