Falling off (black ice)
Over the weekend, a friend decided to do his regular 10 mile Saturday bike
ride. Cycling down a lane, he skidded on a patch of black ice and ended up with a few bruises to his hands and arms as he tried to protect himself. He's already told the police about the incident and they are now looking for the driver responsible.

Mr Benn's description reads as if the cyclist just fell off by himself. Or is this just the typical cyclist's 'killer motorists always responsible for accidents' response? DC

So are cyclists who ride irresponsibly and cause accidents! DC.
