Don't race on the road or ride in a gang, evidently it is annoying to other road users. I was a little surprised that they did not push the lead bike. |

I'd hope that you think the same. From the article: "Dave Scargill, aged 58, was riding fast with pals when a gang of young men pulled up alongside him in a black Vauxhall Corsa. A passenger in the car then stretched out of the side window and, using both arms, pushed Dave from his bike as he cycled along in Hooton Pagnell, near Thurnscoe. Dave toppled from his bike and crashed to the road, breaking two ribs, fracturing his collar bone and puncturing a lung. He is currently on heavy painkillers in Barnsley Hospital, awaiting an operation to treat his injuries. " It was a completely irresponsible thing for the moron in the car to do. I hope he gets traced and prosecuted for assault. |

Why do you hate cyclists so much? And is it any wonder that cyclists now arm themselves with cameras in order to bring the perpetrators of incidents like this to justice? |

IF it took place (cyclists do invent these sort of things to cover up their own mistakes) it was definitely an excessive reaction, but you must ask why they felt so provoked as to do that in the first place. |

Why do you hate cyclists so much? The incident clearly shows that many people hate cyclists. And is it any wonder that cyclists now arm themselves with cameras in order to bring the perpetrators of incidents like this to justice? Cyclists do that because they are very sad little people. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their lives, certainly on a regular basis." |
