As per title, Avon and Somerset Police are searching for a cyclist who has apparently run over a cyclist in the pedestrianised part of Taunton Centre.

Link https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/newsroom/appeal-for-information-on-injury-causing-cyclist/

It's started to kick off on their facebook post, as expected, with some of the usual anti-cycling stuff being thrown around.

Looks like a nasty injury to the Lady, let's hope she makes a full recovery and the cyclist is found and there is some resolution to this. Meanwhile, it's cyclist bashing time again.

She was on an e-bike, had it coming.

Not it's not. It's a cowardly idiot on the pavement.

As unpleasant as it looks, and is for her, I suspect she will.

Sorry, but this is just a shitty toe-rag thing that really doesn't relate to any 'normal' cycling debate.

Of course it will be.

Do try harder with 1st post put downs!

I wonder how many people have been injured or even killed by motorists today?

It's quite clear from the OPs link that the victim was driving a Greggs Chariot, not an ebike.

The usual expected STW reply whenever a cyclist is criticised...

It does start a little to redress the balance Steve.

Was it a cyclist or someone riding a bike?
