2011-05-11 - Riders Down, Richmond Park

LCC just tweeted this asking had anyone seen an Astra driver hit a couple of riders in Richmond Park and then went on to be glib on twitter about it. http://twitter.com/#!/Incillin/status/68374093489111040

Did a search and didn't see anyone mention it.

that is disgraceful! Take this 'wasteman' down

i signed up for twitter the other day all you need is an email, username and your name, no address or anything... lets hope the karma fairy bitch slaps him

Any of our followers? Next tweet is worrying RT @Incillin Today is not my day.. I just hit two cyclists subsequently in Richmond Park. That's why ladies and gentlemen..its not wise to cycle.

Hope the cyclists weren't injured RT @Incillin By the way when such things occur...I don't stop. In this instance, I casually drove away from the scene like nothing happened.

So we have a self-admitted double hit and run.

There's an appeal for witnesses and those involved to come forward, please contact:

bloody hell! w@nker

This has to be a joke, no?

i'm loving the friendly advice as why it's not wise to cycle, why? because of ignorant pricks in cars?

has to be a wind up.

Really hope it's a wind up. Sick fucker if it is.

TBH just sounds exactly like a good chunk of the sort of people who drive through Richmond park...

We have more details here http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?Pageid=2258 and have also sent a report to http://www.met.police.uk/roadsafelondon/ who are trying to investigate.

We have just had a call from the tweeter ..... watch this space.

I had no patients due to those circumstances yesterday in my A&E, but if they were not too serious they would have been taken to Kingston A&E.

From reading your piece, the only conclusion that I can come to is that; irrespective of whether he is a lying prick who is posturing to try and make himself look big, or an inept, cowardly driver whose opinion of his own ability far outweighs what he is actually capable of. He does not poses the required maturity to be allowed to control what is, in the wrong hands, a lethal weapon.

Brilliantly put together, hope the police take the time to look into it.

He's racist as well, nice.

Well done LCC.

Studying medicine too (allegedly). WAC.

Posted this up on London Dynamo forum. Likely someone may have seen something as there is a Wednesday night club ride starting 1930 @ Richmond Gate. Often warm-up laps are had by some before hand.

Sickening behaviour. Really impressed with LCC's work so far. Let's hope it leads to something more concrete.

He claims that a friend wrote the story, on his twitter account, as a hoax. If we can find the cyclists knocked over then we will know for sure.

Did you suggest he tweets a retraction so that all his followers know?

I don't believe his excuse.

From Road.cc Sorry if a repost!

"it was a mate".
obvious bullshit.

Really hope the cyclists reported him to the police.

We still don't know if it actually happened, Ed.
