While more details would be useful, it's possible that this

(relating to a cyclist 'doored' on Trumpington Road neat the junction
with Brooklands Avenue) may be evidence that the cycle lane there
adjacent to parked cars really is as dangerous as some here have
claimed.

I note that " the rider *collided* with a car door that had just been
opened "

Obviously the cyclist was cycling too fast if he could not take
evasive action.

What if it had been a child popping out from between two cars?

Many cyclists are proving the need for registration by their contempt for the Highway Code and laws.

The answer:
All cyclists over 16 to take compulsory test, have compulsory insurance, and be registered.
Registration number to be clearly visible on the back of mandatory hi-viz vest.
Habitual law breakers' cycles confiscated and crushed.
