Oh my word....what a terrifying story!!!!...NOT. Cycling is a means of transport. That is all. Please can people stop calling it a sport and saying silly things like "All I could see was a 90 degree left turn, a hay bale and a couple of people - and I wasn't slowing down"...................in that case do NOT ride a bike. You are clearly incapable. Get the bus.

Oh god I made the mistake of reading some of the comments... Wish I hadn't wasted time on such a concentration of total idiot.

What is it about the mere mention of the word "cyclist" that provokes such retarded dribbling vitriol?

Sometimes, you just have to sit back and admire the inane, uninformed and unoriginal magnificence of a top-class WUM at the top of his game.

Sir, I salute you, but you might find a dedicated football thread a bit more worthy of your insight, wit and repartee."
