when will they learn?
Leave a gap, don't travel so close. It really is not rocket science.

Riding in a group is a fun healthy activity that thousands of cyclists take part in every week. Occasionally wheels touch and some people come down. Sometimes this results in minor injuries, sometimes more major. It's a known and expected consequence of riding in a group. It is not criminal. You really do need to get a sense of perspective. -- Dan |

Presumably, especially given the serious injuries involved and that it occurred on a public road, a police investigation will examine the likelihood that any offences or Highway Code breaches were committed. No idea. My initial guess is it's much like any activity a group of people take part in, and the police would be involved if somebody makes a complaint against others. -- Dan |

"Expected" by whom? I'm talking about the cyclists in the group, at least that's my understanding having ridden in groups, and having had others explain the rules under which they operate (signals given, etiquette, etc.) If you're not in the group, then you would just operate as normal, so if you're in a car, no need to do anything different. Leave sufficient stopping distance, and overtake when appropriate. -- Dan |
