That's unfair. I wouldn't wish anyone back on an a-bike



Oh and if the OP doesn't get anywhere legally, we can all go round with corkscrews and turn the boat into an oversized colander...

At least we would be on an even keel

Count me in on that one <humour>I have some brake fluid somewhere and I hear it is a great paint stripper especially on Jags </humour>

I bow to your nautical knowledge

That's not a joke you can be prow'ed of.

Bloody 'ell, Pete, you landlubber you!

Glad that you're not more seriously damaged and well done for anticipating something potentially far more serious.

As others have said, if they're driving a Jag (badly) and towing a boat, then they have cash to cover you for injuries and damage.

Make sure you get competent legal folk on your side, but more importantly, make a full recovery asap.

Is this you: http://cyclinginfo.co.uk/blog/cycling/cycling-across-water-yvon-le-caer/ ?

Guys, please don't go down the "police probably won't do anything" route. The last thing we should be doing is dis-encouraging people to report such incidents to the police.

Agreed, the few times we've felt the need to report stuff they've been really helpful.

Glad that overall you're ok Pete, and hope you are soon on the mend.

GWS Pete!

... until another car chased him and flagged him down. I have his name & address and although I'm not generally in favour of the "litigation culture" I'm tempted to use one the claims companies that advertise in back of the mags to pursue him for ££££. Anyone any experience of these outfits ?

It's handy that you have a witness (the pursuer.)

I'd speak to someone about making a claim; it might make the driver think twice about cyclists in the future...

Sounds like the driver is a complete anchor.


I'll get my sou'wester.

Best wishes Pete.

Thanks all for your good wishes... except Hip Priest, SS Bellend indeed, don't you know that laughing HURTS when you have broken ribs ?

Groaning at the awful puns isn't half as bad...

Seriously, you have all cheered me up no end.
