A YORK cyclist died after failing to see a parked car until the last
moment and then crashing into the back of the vehicle, an inquest
heard.

A peaked baseball cap worn by Colin Marron may have obscured his
view of
the stationary BMW as he was cycling along Holgate Road, said North
Yorkshire Police collision investigator, PC Paddy Green.

he had been riding a bike with drop handlebars which tended to
encourage
riders to look down rather than up.

CCTV had shown that Mr Marron had spotted the parked BMW when just a
metre away from it and then swerved, but he was unable to avoid the
collision, in which he hit the back windscreen, shattering the glass.

I hope he had fridge freezer insurance.

And?

And this was one of a relatively few posts in uk.r.c to be on-topic?

Oh yes, just tinged with gloating, glee and schadenfreude. Shame on you!

If enough cyclists get the message then the number of deaths may decrease.

Unlikely.
