A guy from my Club had a nasty accident yesterday. A minor road crosses the major road he was on. A driver drove across without stopping, and the cyclist hit the side of the car at speed. Looks like hes badly beaten but not seriously injured.
What pissed me off, was the shortened headline. Which simply descibes the cylist as riding into the side of a car. I honestly dont want to demonize the driver. He will have the book thrown at him, and will know he scewed up and hurt someone. But the press really need to help the image of road cyclists up here. The sudden increase in Our number has made us very unpopular.
