A man has been left bruised and scared to walk alone after being
hit and knocked down by a cyclist in Nottingham.

John Yates walks along the canal every day as part of his
recovery after two
strokes.

But on Thursday, his 72nd birthday, he was knocked over near the
Wilford Street lock by a hit-and-run cyclist.

Mr Yates, who bruised his hand and arm, said he was shocked at
the lack of
consideration.

He said: "I was very, very shaken and I started to get to my feet
very slowly and I looked.

"And he had a glance over his shoulder but he never slowed down -
never mind
stop - and just carried on."

His wife Hilary added: "Any decent person would stop and ask if
you're okay,
if you've been hurt, if they can help you, anybody would do that,
surely?"

He should carry a stick and swing it.

So no comment about the cyclist then?

It was obviously the fault of the pedestrian.

Really? Why?

Whoosh.
