rode_off_/

AN 81-YEAR-OLD woman suffered facial injuries when she was knocked to the
ground by a cyclist riding along the pavement like "a bat out of Hell".

The cyclist asked Beryl Hall if she was hurt and tried to help her up, but
then rode away without apologising, she said. An ambulance was called by
passer-by Brian Brown. Mrs Hall said she was also helped by a Tesco
delivery van driver who bandaged her head. She was taken to York Hospital
suffering two black eyes, grazed knees, a sprained wrist and a cut to the
head, which needed to be glued back together.

Who said the cyclist was going like "a bat out of Hell"?

The old lady he knocked down. Maybe she is a fan of Meatloaf.

Given this thread is xposted into urc which of the cyclists think that
knocking her down, just asking her if she was OK and trying to help her
up then just riding off was an acceptable thing to do when it seems
clear from the reported injuries that she was not "OK".
