6 foot tall scumbag cyclist hospitalises OAP

There is something very wrong with the mental state of these dangerous
cyclists. Bring on the number plates and insurance for cyclists.

"pushed him into the pavement" reads as though the pensioner was
wandering about in the road.

As far as I know, my cycle insurance would only pay out if I crash my
bicycle into someone or some thing and it is my fault. I doubt it covers
me if I have a mental breakdown.

Motor insurance would cover a driver or motorcyclist in such
circumstances (the law demands that).

You may be right about bicycle insurers (assuming that's the right term
for them) refusing to pay out where their "insured" has a mental breakdown.

My policy only mentions cars, it does not mention body parts.

"Bicycle insurers" resell from the same companies that wholesale motor
insurance.

A common misapprehension. The vehicle is not the thing that is insured.
Although we routinely speak in terms of a vehicle being insured, it is
actually the driver and/or the owner who is insured, this being clear
within the insurer's wording of pilicies, certificates, etc.

No doubt.

The same is almost certainly true of those who provide pet insurance and
cover for household and fridge/freezer contents.

That much is known. You're not explaining how it works outside the car.

"What is covered -
We will cover you for your legal liability to other people arising from
an accident which involves *your car* and..." etc.

Emphasis is theirs.
