Yeah you are right, murder is a bit harsh, manslaughter is fairer I guess.

Yeah it bugs me too - I'd prefer it to be called Attempted something but in a a legal sense it doesnt make sense as you can't attempt something which is accidental - I could be wrong though.

Attempted murder with a vehicle would be better.

I have nothing against cyclists whatsoever, everyone has a right to the use of the road, but when you think of the amount of accidents they do cause, there’s no registration, **they don’t pay anything at all to use the roads, they’ve not paid to have a cycle lane fitted, all the car drivers pay for that. **
I'm probably not the only one to notice this but it does make me chuckle - though he does redeem himself a little with the "everyone has a right to use the road" (just about).

I think there is a charge which is worded "using your vehicle as a weapon". I could well be wrong and being reading cycling forums too much.

Least he is getting charged with something, not a result really though.

I am but the BB issue concerns me to honest - I don't have much experience of getting one out that isn't stuck, aside one that is.

Thanks for getting back so quick.

Hi,

Is this bike still available I presume?

thanks.

Forever I hope, I couldn't imagine a day without riding.

I can't sleep tonight because i'm looking forward to cycling in half a hour, going be interesting.

is it just me - or has everyone on the roads this month gone MAD?
have had so many stupid close calls this week alone, and insane cabbies almost killing me and then screaming abuse at ME!

Possibly the petrol price rise making people "angry" ?

No probs, it really confused me before too, i've only ever seen a ranger on horse back once before so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Probably even rarer in the winter to see one due to the cold etc - some dog walkers and people in general do put logs down on the bits you are officially allowed to cycle on! i found a dangerous one asmorning - very disturbing - I'm forever moving them.

I will post the link when I find it, it's interesting reading.

Wimbledon Common's nice but a bit small ultimately, the no cycling aspect is a bit confusing at time when you end up accidentally cycling on the no-cycling part.

Just recently I read a interesting exchange between someone at southwark cyclists about those no cycling signs - essentially they wimbledon common "rangers" were trying to deny that there are bridleways on wimbledon common - those signs are nonsense anyway, they couldn't take anyone to court for cycling anywhere on the common.

I will post the link when I find it, it's interesting reading.

This wasn't me but a RLJer heading into London along CS7 somewhere along Union St/Road just north of Clapham Common. Shit drawing etc etc.

The bus lane up Castelnau up towards Hammersmith is flat (usually very empty and in good nick tarmac wise too) and fast - likewise heading south the other way, bit short but combined with Fulham Palace Road it's good fun.

Did they say why he hadn't been arrested? the guy clearly has a screw loose, unbelievable they let him drive off after behaving like that.

A307 Greater London - Richmond Road closed both ways due to serious accident between Lancaster Garden and Fernhill Gardens, in Kingston Upon Thames.

Saw the rider lying on the ground, looked to me like a possible left hook at the junction, spoke to a PCSO on the way back doing traffic duties who said it was "touch and go" for the rider.

Hope you pull through Mr Motorbike Man.

Click "Best rated" at the comments box under the article, what a bunch of cunts.

I like this one:

The BNP were out canvasing for votes, not looking for a fight. It's disgusting that they can't go about their business without being confronted by gangs of yobs.

What "business" would that be Mr Paul R of Luton?

None came. The guy just looked at me pityingly and shook his head

False pity if there was some.

Sounds like he drove into you, so hopefully his insurance wont be interested?

What this chap said, this guy seems to have a "problem" with cyclists too.

I like the ghost tube one, really nice effect.

sweet, can I see the rest of your flickr collection if you don't mind?

No probs, I think the blurred effect makes it better in a way. A shame I didn't have a working bike when this happened.

The second one is impressive too, give up the day job.

Awesome pics, did you take them yourself?
