Very sad story and I really hope the idiots on here do not try and defend the moron in lycra like they did on other posts.
Indeed we do, starting with your own post. What has his or her clothing got to do with it. Very sad story and I really hope the idiots on here do not try and defend the moron in lycra like they did on other posts.
So stupid to speculate about anything yet, We know nothing about the circumstances or aftermath of the accident.
I am not here to defend cyclists, just would prefer we wait for some facts before getting the pitchforks and torches again.

Seems be being reported a lot more frequently at the moment - is that because more accidents are occurring, or simply because they are now actually being reported?
Is this the bit where someone chips in "but cyclists are killed everyday by motorists and it never gets reported". Jasandjules said:

Cycling is probably more popular now, than it has been for decades.I've had some bloke verbally abuse me on a zebra crossing in London because I stopped him getting King of the Hill (or whatever it is)...
Like anything though, it only takes a few idiots to ruin it for everyone.
