We have the benefit of reading it with the update. The original version was much briefer, with virtually no detail. -- Iain |

Cyclists are unable to comprehend anything outside their own blinkered world. Even if the elderly man had been performing a handstand, the crash was caused by the cyclist. |

Which, as we all know, doesn't stop psycholists from filling in the blanks to mitigate or emphasise blame depending on who is involved. |

Cyclists are unable to comprehend anything outside their own blinkered world. Even if the elderly man had been performing a handstand, the crash was caused by the cyclist. So we can now expect another week of speculation about what the bus driver or someone else did to make the cyclist behave in that way against his will. |

I foresaw this type of accident occuring and it is for which I stopped riding on buses when my health deteriorated. It's not so great to have a free bus pass when one can't go more than a mile, can't walk around and fears the risk of getting thrown from the seat. I have less fears on the bike and no need to wear a helmet. |

I've experienced many more close shaves per 100,000 miles during bus riding than by bike riding and have been thrown from my bus seat at least three times when fit and well. As I have no control over the bus, the bicycle has proved itself to be the safer alternative for me, without the plastic cap. |
