what about travelling with sufficient stopping distance?

It is an old story, but why on earth are cyclists allowed to get away with a
claim such as this?

I assume there must be an insurance company involved in that somewhere.

I expect so. If the 'friend' was insured too then it's probably not so
big a deal I guess. I wonder if the suit was successful. Somehow I
doubt it. It does seem pretty stupid to ride at speed without being
able to see the road ahead of you.
