A man in his 20s was walking along Devizes Road and crossing Highfield

as some cuts and grazes.

Police say the cyclist involved had to push his bike away due to the
damage caused, but didn't stay at the scene.
He walked away in the direction of the city centre.Â* Good clear picture
of the cowardly cyclist.

Bring on the number plates and insurance.

In another thread today, a poster has written the headline: "Lorry
driver who fled scene has been caught".

It's nonsense because leaving the scene of a traffic accident is not an
offence. The law requires that someone so involved must provide details
of their name and address to any person reasonably requiring it. It is
sometimes stated that details of insurance must also be provided to
other involved or on the scenene, but that is not the case. Only the
police have a right to that information.

Clearly, all of that had been done (hence the police being able to
contact that driver later).

This one, though, is a quite different kettle of fish. The cyclist
concerned has obviously not provided his contact details, least of all
to his victim or to the police.
