Motorbike vs cyclist on the Mall

[anonstarter]

I got knocked off my push bike in middle of road waiting to turn right by a car in 1968 doing my paper round it never made the local paper

TaDaa!

They have made the junction into an Island since and 2 cottages I delivered to were knocked down in the process .Waggon wheels were bigger then and Jubblies

Waggon wheels are crap now.
Also Curly Wurlys, used to be a big beast of a thing to chew your way through, current version utterly hopeless.

Here's another link: biker knocks cyclist - Mall


The biker rode with intention to strike the cyclist, in my opionion, with malice.

Cyclist was in his lane and clearly visible, if a little foolish to be on his phone at the time.

Thanks. I know camera angles can be misleading but I dont think he was ever going to fit though there.

I think originally he thought he could get in front of the cab and around on inside of cyclist but left it too late to abort the move .I don't think he deliberately rode into him I mean why would you risk scratching your bike for a cyclist .
