That’s ignoring the question of how much damage one could do to a car with a bike and then ride off on it.

Now thats a quote 😆

Every year when I was at Cambridge there was a new finger-wagging at cyclists campaign.

Its a cramped little city with small streets, thousands of students on bikes, people still driving into the middle of town 🙄 when there's park and ride facilites and in the summer season more blind/deaf tourists standing in the road than you can shake a bikelock at.

plus ca change plus la meme chose.

If it was a white van, and not "mother and child" it would have gone unnoticed.

And tomorrow night, they will be joined by TV cameras from ITV1’s Tonight show

Shudder, another godawful excuse for a TV programme having a good daily mail-esque rant at the current topic du jour 😉

I live in cambs they really are over playing it. Cyclists are no problem compared to the tourist, I quite like watching them hording outside that fudge shop opposite king's but in the summer you can actually get stuck in human traffic jams. Anyway car wacking is nothing new, it happens in london everyday just the cyclists there ride trendy fixed wheel.

“was going to turn left but had to stop to give way to other cars when she heard a loud bang,”

Is it just me or should this really have said:

'she overtook a cyclist then immediately started to turn left, and stopped in the middle of the road when she finally noticed there was a car in her way. The cyclist couldn't avoid riding into her car, but luckily wasn't hurt so rode off'

It's the same in Oxford, drove to Cowley road (a 20mph zone) couple of nights ago, place is crawling with cyclists, it's raining and dusk, and I got beeped at by angry white transit van man for not overtaking a couple of cyclists manoeuvring round a bus...Too many cars, not enough space.

Hey ho.

i wonder what the damage to the car was.

bit of a scratch, praps a panel pushed in.

imagine if someone ACTUALLY managed to bump two cars together!
that would be much worse

[i]And tomorrow night, they will be joined by TV cameras from ITV1’s Tonight show, which is filming a documentary regarding bike rage. Hopefully it’s not expecting to much that the finished programme will include footage of pedestrians stepping out without looking, aggressive bus and van drivers, cars stopping suddenly or turning without warning or any of the other regular incidents that can cause cyclists’ temperatures to rise in the first place[/i]

No i bet it bloody well won't, shite program for the brain dead masses 🙄

I bet the sound of the bang also made her drop her mobile phone 😕
