I seen the original on twitter, at least half the posts were berating the rider for riding in poor conditions and putting himself at risk

And several repeats of Bartons words.

Outstanding. The usual Twitter cesspit then.

Imagine looking at that and having a go at the rider.

Makes me question how any of us who cycle on public roads process the risk/danger of been on a pedal bike surrounded by 2ton lumps of metal often travelling at crazy speeds with people who are often at best barely paying any attention.

Cycled along that road many times, and know exactly where it happened. If you look at the hedge on the other side, you'll notice a car sized gap, just after the van overtook them.
The scene follows after a fairly straight length of road, followed by a shallow right hand bend, then about 50 metres of straight at the junction of the white house. There is then another shallow right hand bend with the gap in the hedge. If you get the first bend wrong, you will inevitably end up going through the gap, as many others have.
