Parked bus: 1 Cyclist: 0
Police said: "We are investigating a serious RTC involving a cyclist and
a parked bus" Should buses have Hi-Vis ? Should cyclists look at the road ahead? https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/w...olice-16290858 |

Until the police report on their investigations of the incident why not give the cyclist the benefit of the doubt and assume some motorist 'cut the cyclist up' forcing them to crash into the parked bus? |

So the cyclist was travelling too fast to be able to stop in the distance he could see to be clear. Let's face it, there are half a dozen or more of these each year, almost always involving bikes with dropped handlebars. |

Let's face it, there are half a dozen or more of these each year, almost always involving bikes Just face it, there are many incidents like this each year, which rarely involve bikes. with dropped handlebars. No relevance in the slightest. Besides, for most people, most of the time, the bits of bar extending below the brakes are only for decoration. (At least the story has cycling content.) |

I know you think you are being clever but I have experienced something similar. A motorist objected to me legally using the ASL and when I wanted to move right to pass an illegally parked car said motorist pulled along side and braked in an attempt to force me into the back of the illegally parked car, it didn't work. I could have challenged the driver when it inevitably got stuck in motor traffic but why add misery to a miserable person. |

I know you think you are being clever... Not really, I more thought I was merely being fair. I do know, of course, the cyclist could well have collided with the parked bus entirely through their own fault. But I equally know the possibility exists that maybe it wasn't entirely their own fault. It is impossible to be sure what happened from the facts released in that given report. ...but I have experienced something similar.

That would likely have left me wound up all the more. I would prefer the smug comfort of confirming that no one else can create negativity within you, only you can do that by virtue of how you process your world. |

Sometimes it's just a matter of looking at the culprit. Their body language will indicate whether they understand they made a mistake, in which case nothing further is required. If they are knowingly doing something wrong it is probably best to get as much separation from them as possible. Better to take it out on the ignorants that infest this group. |
