I did that as a kid, that's why my front teeth are half plastic. Feckin' hurt I can tell you.

Could be an invisible car, impossible to prove that they don't exist.

probably posting his new strava route on here.

Never mind, the cyclist's insurance will pay for any damage.

[Some Gump]

Ouch!

Oh, and mouthbreather above me - he's probably insured. I don't know any serious cyclist that isn't.

I also did similar. Tried to swerve round a car. Didn't. No damage though.

Head-down racing can have fatal consequences. This guy didn't expect a lorry to be parked on the dual carriageway.

Really? I do.

And I would question whether a 'serious' cyclist would do such a stupid thing.

I think you'd be surprised how many people who cycle do actually have it...!

Love the quote:

"This collision occurred on a fine dry afternoon, the rider was wearing a bright orange shirt and on a yellow racing bike"

WTF has that got to do with the fact that the cyclist ran into the back of a stationary lorry?

"Det Sgt Scott Lynch from Kent Police wants to speak to anyone who saw him before or at the time of the crash" ...and is reminding people of the rider's description.

Did you read the whole article? Specifically the paragraph above...?

I have third party insurance with British Cycling, costs me about £30 a year.. I can't think of anyone I know that doesn't have some sort of cover either through their home insurance, CTC or BC.

Edit, the insurance is included with the £30 cost of joining BC, not just £30 for the cover.

Dozy fecker deserved all the pain in the world after that piece of utter stupidity.

As to the person who said that responsible cyclists has insurance, thanks for giving me the biggest laugh of the day, so far. Mind you, it's 4.30 and I don't think it can be beat!

Responsible is the key word.

Your English has given me my biggest laugh of the day - thank you.
