Has it been done yet?

yep

Have you ever seen a man knocked off a bike by an antelope?

Bet that hasn’t been done yet

Or a quirky mickey take of a Rapha style video….

Surely that hasn’t been done either.

look under man down down the screen.

Have you seen this?

or this?

Veet on ya baals? No way man that’s some dodgy stuff going on.

Explains why the garage on that road was so busy when I was driving home tonight….

🙄

^ because of a roaming Antelope?

FENTON! OH JESUS CHRIST! FENTON!

and the real thing, hit by a woman driver of a vauxhall van it appears,12 police cars and his support crew following behind.

Bet the garage did well on refreshments.

Radio saying broken wrist and ribs? 🙁

BBC just say damaged ribs not life threatening:

Puntastic…

I did like The Sun vaguely hinting that it was his own silly fault for shaving off his “lucky sideburns” 😆

FFS!

Unfortunately, we kind of need news stories like this to raise the issue of the dangers faced by cyclists every day…

Taking out high profile cyclists like Wiggo, Cav, Chris Hoy etc is far more likely to make the news than you or I getting taken out, and as such allow CTC, BC etc to raise the risks of aggressive/dozy driving up the news agenda…

Best wishes to him, I hope he gets better soon as doesn’t impact his training

It’s not a nice bit of road at the best of times. I don’t know why he was (a) out in the dark (I usually see him in daylight) and (b) going that way, when he could have gone a slightly different route and avoided that road/combination of junctions and traffic.

Probably out looking for trouble. Bet he has a helmetcam. 😉

Aye, that Wiggo. I’ve seen his videos. Hooning about like he owns the place.

look under man down down the screen.

at least the OP of this thread put the topic of his tread in the title – helps to make it obvious whether its bin dun or not

Women drivers and bloody cyclists shouldn’t be on our roads!

hope its not to bad and that he will be ok.

See if he was a good rider he’d have been able to predict the accident and avoid it. Maybe slowing down past junctions and side roads would help. Accident are inevitable so I guess we should recommend staying off the road.

In all seriousness I was relieved to read the driver was unhurt and has not been arrested or charged.

He was allegedly trying to get the KOM on that Strava segment.

Has it been established if he had a helmet on, yet?

wonder if he has had all the texts and phone calls from “injurylawyers4u” etc etc ….

[Quote]Has it been established if he had a helmet on, yet?[/quote]

I think it’s well established he’s a bit of a helmet….

I got taken out by a van and it sucked. Wish him all the best.

““I could see a pushbike, like a mountain bike, and the front wheel was all buckled.”

Was he really on a mountainbike?

Guardian says on MTB out to meet a group of locals!?

Anyone from here??

hit by a woman driver of a vauxhall van it appears,12 police cars and his support crew following behind

Wow this is bad, being hit by so many vehicles.

Interesting to see the photo above, looks like crash investigators. Would they be there if it had been you or me who had been hit?

Bet he was heading to Tescos. He seems to love Tescos. Whether its taking his kids there or talking about working there stocking shelves, he’s always on about the place

Only just heard myself. Bit of a weird vibe on here about it?

Was thinking that myself.

Here’s hoping that Wiggo’s injuries aren’t too serious, & wishing him a speedy recovery.

Heard he was on a MTB, I hope it’s ok.

I like the suggestion Wiggo has a mild obsession with Tesco, to the degree he’s popping down there on a MTB to get a few extra club card points.

This is good news, in a way. If you or I had been knocked off by a careless women pulling out of a petrol station, no one would ever know. This high profile “accident” during the week his book comes out and while he is (was) doing the tv and radio rounds, will highlight the very serious issue of **** **** who can’t be trusted to drive.

It’s not an accident, if you followed the rules, do everything you should do, don’t cut corners, you won’t pull out on cyclists.

Cars don’t kill cyclists – bloody idiots do.

I recall the lad who killed my friend got 200 hours community service. Meanwhile a man who shouted at the prime minister got 100 hours, it will be interesting to see what becomes of this… If anything.
