Female Cyclist Assaulted
"Ambrose Nankivell" wrote in message
... Well, no, the driver got out and kicked her. The scumbag. Or as the media would report it, a cyclist was in a kicking with a car. It would take a pretty determined motorist to go to the trouble of parking up, getting out and kicking a cyclist! If the road was narrow he would block other fellow motorists and incur *their* wrath, and if the road was wide he would have to be quick on his feet to kick a passing cyclist. |

They were rare a few years ago, but they have certainly intensified over the last few months in terms of severity. I ain't been out on the bike for a few weeks now. It really is getting worse out there for us cyclists. I would dispute that they have got worse. I would say the risk of random unprovoked attacks like this is low. Other than peripheral housing schemes between 9pm and midnight at weekends the risk is close to zero. There are plenty places I wouldn't care to walk through at certain times of night but any risk is no worse for cyclists than pedestrians. Cyclist may be at less risk as they travel past any problem areas quickly.. This story made the news because it was unusual. Iain |

No. The evil, lycra clad, unhelmeted, non road tax paying cyclist crashed into the foot of the poor, put upon, hard done by, taxed to the hilt, salt of the earth, fine upstanding motorist. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |

Female Cyclist Assaulted
It would take a pretty determined motorist to go to the trouble of parking up, getting out and kicking a cyclist! What can I say? The guy even turned off of the main road to park then wandered into the road to meet me face to face. Can only assume this was a man with other issues in his life! Maybe his abusive mother was a five foot female cyclist as well. |

I've had a motorist who went to the bother of pulling into a cul-de-sac, turning, then waiting for me to pass in order to deliberately drive straight at me, tyres smoking. Some motorists are psychopaths. regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |

No more determined than the motorists you often see getting out of their cars to "have a word" with another car driver. They don't have to go to the trouble of "parking up". I see them doing it while waiting at red traffic lights. -- Chris Malcolm DoD #205 IPAB, Informatics, JCMB, King's Buildings, Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK [http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/cam/] |
