Rider down just now.

It actually looked deliberate...

The guilty party - a black Range Rover with reg T2 FLV - fled the scene.

Help is on the way.

Why did it look deliberate (if you can say)?

Hope the rider's OK.

Good to hear that the driver was caught.

Well, according to a few cyclists cyclists that saw it - and I think a van driver behind - the car appeared to swerve into the rider. I didn't see the impact but rather was drawn to look over when I heard (and then saw) the crunching of the bike under the wheels of the car.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
