"It's unlikely that an experienced cyclist would simply fail to seethe parked vehicle."
It seems to happen quite often, especially where dropped bars are in use.

It's the same when a driver collides with one of those stationary objects. |

It just beamed in, right in front of the cyclist? These things can happen. Seen it on Startrek. The cyclist was not looking where he was going? My money is on the car employing a cloaking device. I've seen these on Startrek. |

It's the same when a driver collides with one of those stationary objects. I believe that part of the difference is that cyclists are the only road users that travel with their arse higher than their head, human physiology means that keeping your eys looking toward the horizon is incredibly difficult, combined with the physical effort involved in keeping the bike moving, means that it is a natural human reaction to relax the neck and allow the head to move downward and hence the field of vision to go down, leading to cyclists on racing bikes to plough into other objects including pedeatrians. The bicycles in such collisions are invariably (any examples of other more upright types, anyone?) racing type bicycles. |

It is little wonder that they get knocked off, especially the ones that ride on the wrong side of the road, or straight out of side roads, wrong way round the roundabout, wrong way in one way streets, ride high speed roads in the early hours, etc. etc. I know it is natural selection, but it is very distressing for the people that hit them, so it is little surprise that they drive on, sad, but true. |
