cycle rage
 

someone posted this on UK legal. I reckon that the woman was not a pure
cyclist (she had stopped at lights after all) This act enraged another
cyclist who rammed her with his bike to teach her a lesson. Police are
appealing for witnesses. I bet that a stake out of that area at the same
sort of time of day would soon find the thuglist.

Another typical psycholist! I note that the woman suffered facial
injuries, so she must has struck her head as she fell off, but isn't
this impossible according to certain posters on this newsgroups?

Yes this is similar to the many deliberate tailgating collisions which
motorists inflict on each other, except that they cannot 'fall off'
though the lack of a helmet might put them at risk. Oh wait! Don't
motorists suffer neck injuries instead as their heads bounce off the
headrests into that inflatable balloon thingy while the body is
restrained by a so-called 'safety belt'?

Of course, when a cyclist is hit by a speeding car it is much more
serious and I doubt that even a helmet would save them.

airbags do not (should not) operate if the car is hit from behind.

The case in question was a cyclist using his bicycle as a weapon to strike
at another cyclist.

Funny, you forgot to mention that MrCheerless' florid description of the
incident was not supported by the cited source.

So instead the head crashes onto the steering wheel after bouncing off
the headrest and breaking the neck?

at another cyclist.

In much the same way as a motorist might do against another motorist.
Your point if you have one?

If the neck is broken it makes little difference, but (steering wheel)
airbags are designed to only operate if the vehicle hits something in front
of it.

strike at another cyclist.

I have never seen a motorist pick his vehicle off the road and strike
another car with it, no. It could even be reasonably construed as the
cyclist carrying an offensive weapon.

I take it you condone the cyclist's actions against the lady cyclist?
