    Cyclist down - hit & run Stirlingshire, Crow Rd A822

    The cyclist was hit three days ago and left for dead. After an appeal, it appears the driver has handed himself in. "The vehicle involved in the collision is likely to have sustained some exterior damage and so anyone who notices some new dents or marks on the car of a family member, friend...

    Cyclist hits car - or car hits cyclist?

    From our local rag's web page: "A cyclist was injured during a collision with a car. A 59-year-old man was crossing the roundabout joining the Silk Road and Bollington Road in Macclesfield when he collided with a black Mercedes at 8am this morning (Wednesday, September 14)." The way this has...

    Cyclist Killed - Belfast to Bangor road

    So sad to read of this today. This is a busy dual line road with little provision for cyclists in the most part yet is very popular with cyclists heading to the coast from Belfast. The speed limit varies between 40 and 50mph but this means little to most motorists that use the road. The road...

    Car drivers threatens cyclist with baseball bat

    Even though the car driver is clearly in the wrong, and nearly knocks a guy off his bike, he feels it approriate to threaten the cyclist with a baseball bat. Ok the cyclist should not have kicked his car, but given the recklessness of the manoeuvre, and how close he was to being knocked off, I...

    Must Past Cyclist

    When I think I have seen it all, today I was totally puzzled. Large queue of traffic ahead moving about 10-15mph. I join that queue matching the speed of the traffic being there is no room to filter safely (my avg on that road up to that point being 21mph). Behind me a car joins, matching the...

    Cyclist killed in lorry collision

    Oh dear, another female cyclist has died following a collision with a lorry. There's no good news here, but it's worth pointing out the number of deaths in Greater London has declined dramatically. I think this is the first death in the Greater London area for about 11 months, or it may be the...
