When will these cyclists learn that going over the handlebars does not happen.

Yet another cyclist travelling too fast for the conditions, they must just
be over confident about routes they often use.

You post a link to a story about someone flying over their handlebars
and entitle it "...going over the handlebars does not happen"
Have you now decided to argue with yourself?

So : "He suffered various fractures and his £1,500 bike was a
write-off."

and there we have a photo of him with his £1,500 bike - it doesn't
look a write-off to me.

Typical psycholist insurance scam.

I suppose he *could* have borrowed an expensive bike just for the
photo - but I think unlikely)

Cyclists Killed or seriously injured : 567
Pedestrians Killed or seriously injured : 415

Which is the safer form of transport?

If it is a carbon bike then it probably is a write off.

Personally, I think that there should be an upper limit to the claims
against council tax payers riders of fragile bikes can make for damage
caused by poor road maintenance. (The same goes for owners of
expensive cars.)

I'm somewhat surprised that the council can't use "you should be able to
stop within the distance you can see to be clear" as a defence against
pothole claims.

Since cyclists pay **** all towards building or repairing roads they
shouldn't be able to complain or claim.

Sponging freeloaders.

"Martin, who lives in Priorswood, fractured two ribs, a finger on his
right hand and a bone in his left wrist. He will be off work for six
weeks. " all without breaking a helmet -amazing!

Was he wearing any chest protection?
