2008-07-11 - Rider Down, NW11

I had exactly the same thing happen on Clapham High St last Sat, luckily he didnt take me off - otherwise I prob would have been in a similar state, I caught up with the bastard and he was completely oblivious to the fact that he had even hit me.

a comment from yesterday's times

Ok cyclists, why should I have to put up with this....
I'm sitting in a queue of traffic at a red light, minding my own business when along side me rides a cyclist who stops beside me and puches my wing mirror so that it folds away and gives me a load of verbals. Hadn't even overtaken him. Why??

rick, manchester,

I was actually remarkabley calm, didnt even swear at him, he was mortified when I had told him he's hit me, he apologised profusely and said he hadnt seen me, I then gave him a lecture on the merits of using wing mirrors and indicators and sent him on his way urging him to be more careful or you could kill someone next time.
I was kinda suprised I didnt call him a cunt and take his wing mirror off...maybe I would have done if he hadnt of been completely passive.
