Still, not to worry. I gather from rumblings on other groups and on
web-based forums, that the day is coming when the 'worm' will turn.
When the cyclists of Britain will say to the government: 'Either you
enforce the law, or we will do it for you. You have been warned'.

"Two men have been arrested over the incident."

That didn't take long.


Like I said - no stone will be left unturned for their own.


And they were arrested, whereas those who knock off cyclists by
dangerous driving and flee the scene are often (if the police even
bother to go and look for them) given "words of advice".


Often because the cyclist had already behaved inappropriately in some
way which could be considered to have started it, also there may be
insufficient evidence to make prosecution of the case unlikely to succeed.
