Default Cycle racing claims another elderly innocent victim

A pensioner suffered serious injuries after a Tour de Yorkshire cyclist
crashed into her during the final stages of the race.

The 86-year-old suffered facial injuries and fractures to both arms
after the rider, who was with a group made up of several riders behind
the main peloton, struck her as she crossed the road to her house.

"A spokesmen said the cyclist has not been questioned by police".

Cyclists are the chosen ones, and hence can do no wrong, even when
maiming and killing the general public.

Maybe because she was illegally crossing a road on which a temporary
closure had been put in place specifically to prevent incidents of
that kind, so has nobody but herself to blame.
I hope the personal liability section of her household contents
insurance is able to adequately compensate the cyclist for any damage
to his property and injuries caused by her stupidity.


You really are a ****.

But pensioners, not being as Considerably Rich as cyclists, can't afford
fridge-freezers or the associated insurance.

Not a term I would have used in my characterisation of the gentleman
concerned, but probably not far off the mark.

All the more reason to ban cycle racing/sporting events on public roads.
If they want to race their children's toys, they should take a lesson from
motorsport, and build purpose built tracks with their own money.
After all, as they are considerably richer than everyone else, it won't be
too much of a hardship, will it?

I am glad to see you are not scoring goals, but I am surprised to see he
was wearing a number for identification. However, not being able to stop
in time suggests " brake failure "!

If he had kept up with the rest of the peleton ( gone faster ) the
incident would not have occurred.
