Cyclist down Manchester

Hello all

This was me on Sunday 1 June after a 55 miler and 0.5 miles from home. Got a sore shoulder and the bike is fecked. Could have been worse though.

Bloody hell!

Tear up that driver's licence and make him sit an extended retest.

I hope the police were involved and that you're in touch with that driver's insurers?

Bloody hell. That is outrageous. Get well soon.

Jesus.


Edit/ also meant to say, glad you're basically ok. Looks like you were very lucky

 

[glasgowcyclist]

I meant to add; well done on obtaining the cctv footage so quickly. Whose camera was that, council?

Boy oh Boy, were you lucky to get away without serious injuries. Hope your back on top form ASAP.
Please tell me there is a prosecution pending?

Could have been real nasty, I mean a lot worse, get well soon.
!00% drivers fault and on street CCTV, sue the numpty

 

[Peter Armstrong]

How fast was you going? Nothing to do with the crash just wondering. Get well soon.

I can't watch the video as Safari says the link is not valid when I click the video

Blimey, just watched the vid.
That was a very close call Mac.
Amazed you got up from that one with only minor injuries.

The car driver just didn't look, check or give way to anything that may have been coming from the right.
Plenty of witnesses by the looks of things.
Hope you drag his arse for compensation.

Blimey!! amazing you didn't have anything more serious, so glad your ok fella! It very scary watching as you just know the only thing's the driver's are usually looking for are other car's not bikes we just don't seem to register the same way!

Just out of interest was you wearing a helmet? and did hit help if you was?

 

[Goonerobes]

Christ, I'm glad that you are okay(ish) after that!

 

[potsy]

That looked nasty, glad you are ok D

 

[DCLane]

Ouch! Get better soon.

Looked like the car driver didn't even slow or, if he saw you, thought there'd be no problem getting through.
