Cyclist down in wolves

Don't you just love the way the whole article focuses on the inconvenience to motorists, rather than the fact that someone has been seriously injured! Probably wouldn't have even made the news if it hadn't caused a traffic jam.....

i hope the cyclist is ok but jeez what a shitty article!

Its shocking isn't it?
I work in Walsall and a few of my clients were "so inconvenienced" with the detours they had to take to get to me. It wound me up when i was told it was "just a cyclist".........

I have to commute through West Brom daily, and i am so aware how many drivers are out there, who have no idea where to look for cyclists on the road. Cars are always "creeping out" of nowhere with no regard for cyclists.
I hope the Wolvo cyclist heals well.

Jesus fucking christ. That makes my blood boil right up.

I posted about another story like this on another forum, and no-one else seemed to see anything wrong with it.

i hope the guy on the bikes ok.
people shouldnt care if drivers had to sit in there warm comfy cars for a while.
cyclists need to be given more notice in these sorts of stories, might make drivers more aware.

Heal up.
I've made it a habit now of chatting to irresponsible drivers about their attitude towards cyclists.
Politely but sternly telling them that they should always use mirrors + indicators, overtaking then turning left etc, the vast majority seem really apologetic, though some are foul mouthed pricks.

interesting combination of bravery and calm patience. i tend to end up shouting 'CUUUUUNT!'.
