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. https://metro.co.uk/2019/04/01/can-h...ement-9079827/ |

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. |

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

Motor insurance would cover a driver or motorcyclist in such circumstances (the law demands that). My policy only mentions cars, it does not mention body parts. 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. 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. "Bicycle insurers" resell from the same companies that wholesale motor insurance. No doubt. The same is almost certainly true of those who provide pet insurance and cover for household and fridge/freezer contents. |

"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. |

The issue - raised by you, one might add - was whether cycle insurance covers a cyclist for his legal liabilities to other people arising from incidents which involve him and his bike. You suggested that it might not. We know, on the other hand, that no such arises with compulsory motor insurance. |

It describes a crash and the rider returning to assault the OAP. There is no suggestion the bicycle was used in the assault, ie, the cyclist had turned into a pedestrian. |
