I had an incident last Wednesday with a lycra clad idiot . on the cyclepath by a primary school on the way back from work I came round a blind corner ,staying on the left of the path as I always do bit like a road and not going fast at all, theres a guy on an old racer in his 50s coming head on at me he is going way to fast.
I cant get out the way but do manage to come to a complete stop and get my feet down due to my xt brakes, he cant stop and just plows right through my front wheel sending him flying over his bars onto his head on pavement, luckily he had a helmet on. he bent my front rim right round, buckled his front wheel, forks and got a puncture.
unfortunately I didn’t realise how much damage he had done to my wheel and left him contemplating a very long painful walk home. in the end ive brought a new set of hope hoops while I get the old ones repaired to sell on. if he had hit my new banshee frame I would of been arrested for gbh!!
some people have no sense what so ever if that had been a pushchair or a small child he would of hospitalised them
