Cyclist 1 me 0.

felice that is appalling- you were so lucky to end up with bruises and scratches but no broken bones. I assume that this was in France and not over here? Not that it could not happen over here. With luck he will fall off his bike in the path of a lorry but my sympathy for the driver of the lorry.

Don't think that has anything to do with being a cyclist, he is probably a rude arrogant pig in all walks of life.

B* * * * * d! Let's hope the police can find him through the witnesses. Seems you came off a bit better than the other woman! I hope you are not too sore and you feel better soon and don't feel too stiff. Cyclists think they rule the roads as well as the pavements these days. It infuriates me when they ride 3 abreast (with their wiggly lycra-covered bottoms up in the air) not allowing anyone to pass.

Bloody hell Charleygirl! That's a bit harsh!

I'm quite surprised at this. The continental countries always seem to have the cycling so well organised. Horrible for you felice.

In Belguim, and the cyclists here really do all think they are in The Tour de France, some awful sights in Lycra.
I think what shocked the witnesses was the way he pushed us out of the way.
SIL sometimes drives an HGV and they are the bane of his life.
I can only see a bit out of one eye and it is really wierd, things just are not where I think they are when I go to pick things up.

Sympathy

That is terrible felice, hope you feel better soon
Where DD lives in Brussels there is a footpath that used to be a railway line, cyclists use it as a personal track, I once had close encounter with one of these cyclists.

That's really shocking felice

Appalling felice! Hope you recover quickly and that he gets caught and prosecuted.

Oh my God Felice, how awful for you. What an absolute bas***d. I seriously hope the police manage to trace him or he gets his comeuppance some other way. With any luck someone will be close enough next time to stick their foot out and bring him down. Pig
I do hope your injuries he quickly and you're not too shaken up by this. Have a stiff drink or three this evening

heal not he

felice I am so shocked to hear of your accident. I hope you make a good recovery.

What a vile man! I do hope that you have been checked out medically too, felice, and I hope they find the bast**d cyclist who did this and charge him.


Charleygirl it is never these aggressive people who get injured, they just cause accidents and injury to other people.

It's all been said, felice. What a horrid thing to happen. I do hope you feel better tomorrow and continue to heal.

Vile man. Heal soon felice

Really shocking. So agree with you charleygirl. I feel the same.
Please make a good recovery felice

Appalling behaviour. Hope you feel much better soon felice

You have my sympathy. Some years ago I was sent flying when a cyclist ran into me as he rode his bike through a railway station! No broken bones but I had cuts and bruises everywhere from my knees to my face and mouth. My 6yo dd was with me and she just screamed her head off in fright, poor thing, to see me lying on the ground, covered in blood.

There was one funny side, in that an old lady who came to help me knew the person who'd hit me and was threatening him by saying she'd be making sure his mother heard all about it and then he'd be for it, because she wouldn't be pleased with his antics! I almost, but not quite, felt sorry for him.

I loathe cyclists now and if ever there's one anywhere near me, I'm a nervous wreck.

I do hope you feel better soon. Arnica tablets and ointment can help with the bruising.

How awful felice I shudder to think what kind of person he is.

Thanks everyone, I got a nice phone call from the Police last night asking how I was and as he probably uses our road most days they intend to keep a watch there for the next couple of days.
I look like the Lone Ranger at the moment, with a sort of black and blue eyemask.

Arrogant pig indeed! Let us hope they track him down before he does more harm.

Oh I do hope the police manage to catch him felice! Please keep us updated.
Hope you're feeling a little calmer today - just try to avoid any mirrors

You poor thing. Hope you get better soon.

What a horrible man. As Pompa said, it's nothing to do with being a cyclist, he's probably just as nasty on foot. I do hope they catch him and he gets what's coming to him.
